Key elements and design rationale

• Antibody format: Mouse Monoclonal Mouse IgG1
• Clone number: Clone: 17G5
• Immunogen / epitope context: E. coli-derived mouse Apolipoprotein A I recombinant protein (Position: D25-Q264). Mouse Apolipoprotein A I shares 64% and 68.6% amino acid (aa) sequence identity with human and rat Apolipoprotein A I, respectively. (reported region: D25-Q264).
• Molecular weight context: reported MW: 25 kDa; calculated MW: 31 kDa
• Reactivity: Human
• Applications: ELISA, WB

As a monoclonal antibody, the reagent targets a defined epitope, supporting consistency across experiments; epitope masking by PTMs or conformational changes can affect signal.

Biological background

apolipoprotein A1. Apolipoprotein A-1, also known as APOA1, is a human protein with a specific role in lipid metabolism. It binds to lipopolysaccharide or endotoxin, and has a major role in the anti-endotoxin function of HDL. The gene is mapped to 11q23. And it is a single polypeptide chain with 243 amino acid residues of known primary amino acid sequence. The ApoA-I protein promotes cholesterol efflux from tissues to the liver for excretion. It is a cofactor for lecithin cholesterolacyltransferase (LCAT) which is responsible for the formation of most plasma cholesteryl esters. ApoA-I is also isolated as a prostacyclin (PGI2) stabilizing factor, and thus may have an anticlotting effect. Defects in the gene encoding it are associated with HDL deficiencies, including Tangier disease, and with systemic non-neuropathic amyloidosis. Additionally, ApoA-I overexpression promotes macrophage-specific reverse cholesterol transport. Functional note: Participates in the reverse transport of cholesterol from tissues to the liver for excretion by promoting cholesterol efflux from tissues and by acting as a cofactor for the lecithin cholesterol acyltransferase (LCAT). As part of the SPAP complex, activates spermatozoa motility. Reported localization: Secreted. Expression/tissue context: Major protein of plasma HDL, also found in chylomicrons. Synthesized in the liver and small intestine. The oxidized form at Met-110 and Met-136 is increased in individuals with increased risk for coronary artery disease, such as in carrier of the eNOSa/b genotype and exposure to cigarette smoking. It is also present in increased levels in aortic lesions relative to native ApoA-I and increased levels are seen with increasing severity of disease.

Research relevance and current trends

• G Protein Signaling: Researchers commonly examine how APOA1 relates to this theme using model systems and orthogonal readouts.
• Signal Transduction: Researchers commonly examine how APOA1 relates to this theme using model systems and orthogonal readouts.
• Signaling Pathway: Researchers commonly examine how APOA1 relates to this theme using model systems and orthogonal readouts.

Common research applications

• Western blotting: compare relative APOA1 levels across conditions; band patterns may reflect isoforms and processing.
• ELISA-compatible use: when applicable, interpret signal as relative abundance across sample sets with consistent handling and dilution strategy.

Notes for experimental interpretation

• Specificity notes: No cross reactivity with other proteins.
• Cross-reactivity: No cross-reactivity with other proteins.
• Isoforms and PTMs: Apparent size and signal patterns can differ across splice isoforms, proteolytic processing, and post-translational modifications.
• Controls: Include an isotype control (as relevant), no-primary control for imaging, and orthogonal validation such as KD/KO samples when available.
