Description
Antiserum to Human Apolipoprotein A-1 made in goat
75% of Apo A in HDL is Apo AI. Levels of Apo AI are inversely related to the risk of coronary heart disease. Apo AI is also thought to activate LCAT (lecithin cholesterol acyl tranferase). In normal plasma, Apo AI levels range from 90-130 mg per 100 ml.
