Rabbit Anti-APOF (Apolipoprotein F, Apo-F, Lipid Transfer Inhibitor Protein, LTIP)
Apolipoprotein F (Apo F), also known as lipid transfer inhibitor protein (LTIP) based on its ability to inhibit lipid transfer between lipoproteins, is a protein component of several lipoprotein classes and a physiologic regulator of cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) function. Apo F activity was reported to be localized to LDL, consistent with its greater inhibitory activity on this lipoprotein. Apo F activity is controlled by its reversible incorporation into an inactive complex which provides for short-term fine-tuning of lipoprotein remodeling mediated by CETP. ApoF overexpression reduces HDL cholesterol levels by increasing clearance of HDL-CE.ApoF may be an important determinant of HDL metabolism and reverse cholesterol transport.
