InnateDB Annotation
Summary
APOA1 is a serum apolipoprotein that induces antiatherogenic efflux of macrophage cholesterol and is anti-inflammatory due to its ability to neutralize bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS). APOA1 also signals in the macrophage through Toll-like receptor (TLR)2, TLR4, and CD14, utilizing MYD88-dependent and -independent pathways, to activate nuclear factor-kappaB and induce cytokines.
APOA1 has anti-inflammatory properties in macrophages through the stabilization of ATP-binding cassette transporter A1 (ABCA1) and the down-regulation of TLR4 signalling pathway.

Entrez Gene
Summary This gene encodes apolipoprotein A-I, which is the major protein component of high density lipoprotein (HDL) in plasma. The protein promotes cholesterol efflux from tissues to the liver for excretion, and it is a cofactor for lecithin cholesterolacyltransferase (LCAT) which is responsible for the formation of most plasma cholesteryl esters. This gene is closely linked with two other apolipoprotein genes on chromosome 11. Defects in this gene are associated with HDL deficiencies, including Tangier disease, and with systemic non-neuropathic amyloidosis. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
