Apolipoprotein A5 is encoded by the ApoA5 gene. It is known that coronary heart disease is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in the world. This apolipoprotein is a major risk factor indicating coronary artery disease. Several lipoproteins such as chylomicrons, VLDL, and HDL contain apolipoprotein A5, which affects lipoprotein metabolism and determines plasma triglyceride levels.
