Gene Type: protein_coding_gene
Location: Chr: 19 Mapping Details/Browsers
Description: Predicted to have several functions, including cholesterol binding activity; cholesterol transfer activity; and phosphatidylcholine-sterol O-acyltransferase activator activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including lipid homeostasis; lipid transport; and plasma lipoprotein particle organization. Predicted to localize to the chylomicron and high-density lipoprotein particle. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Alzheimer's disease; colitis; myocardial infarction; and ulcerative colitis. Is expressed in intestine; liver; and yolk syncytial layer. Orthologous to human APOA4 (apolipoprotein A4).
