Apol3 Polyclonal Antibody Product Information ApoL3 Polyclonal Antibody Cat #: ABP56628 Size: 30μl /100μl /200μl Product Information Product Name: ApoL3 Polyclonal Antibody Applications: IHC-P, ELISA Isotype: Rabbit IgG Reactivity: Human Catalog Number: ABP56628 Lot Number: Refer to product label Formulation: Liquid Concentration: 1 mg/ml Storage: Store at -20°C. Avoid repeated Note: Contain sodium azide. freeze / thaw cycles. Background: APOL3 (apolipoprotein L3) is a member of the apolipoprotein L gene family, and it is present in a cluster with other family members on chromosome 22. The encoded protein is found in the cytoplasm, where it may affect the movement of lipids, including cholesterol, and/or allow the binding of lipids to organelles. In addition, expression of APOL3 is up-regulated by tumor necrosis factor-alpha in endothelial cells lining the normal and atherosclerotic iliac artery and aorta. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. Application Notes: Optimal working dilutions should be determined experimentally by the investigator. Suggested starting dilutions are as follows: IHC-P (1:100-1:300), ELISA (1:40000). Not yet tested in other applications. Storage Buffer: PBS containing 50% Glycerol, 0.5% BSA and 0.02% Sodium Azide. Storage Instructions: Stable for one year at -20°C from date of shipment. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap.

  • The Expression of the Human Apolipoprotein Genes and Their Regulation by Ppars

Thesis Biochemistry Department of Biosciences University of Kuopio June 2008 Abstract The expression of the human apolipoprotein genes and their regulation by PPARs. UNIVERSITY OF KUOPIO, the Faculty of Natural and Environmental Sciences, Curriculum of Biochemistry USKI Juuso Oskari Thesis for Master of Science degree Supervisors Prof. Carsten Carlberg, Ph.D. Merja Heinäniemi, Ph.D. June 2008 Keywords: nuclear receptors; peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor; PPAR response element; apolipoprotein; lipid metabolism; high density lipoprotein; low density lipoprotein. Lipids are any fat-soluble, naturally-occurring molecules and one of their main biological functions is energy storage. Lipoproteins carry hydrophobic lipids in the water and salt-based blood environment for processing and energy supply in liver and other organs. In this study, the genomic area around the apolipoprotein genes was scanned in silico for PPAR response elements (PPREs) using the in vitro data-based computer program. Several new putative REs were found in surroundings of multiple lipoprotein genes. The responsiveness of those apolipoprotein genes to the PPAR ligands GW501516, rosiglitazone and GW7647 in the HepG2, HEK293 and THP-1 cell lines were tested with real-time PCR. The APOA1, APOA2, APOB, APOD, APOE, APOF, APOL1, APOL3, APOL5 and APOL6 genes were found to be regulated by PPARs in direct or secondary manners. Those results provide new insights in the understanding of lipid metabolism and so many lifestyle diseases like atherosclerosis, type 2 diabetes, heart disease and stroke.

Fax: (31) 20-6915519. E-mail: [email protected]. We previously isolated APOL3 (CG12-1) cDNA and now describe the isolation of APOL1 and APOL2 cDNA from an activated endothelial cell cDNA library and show their endothelial- specific expression in human vascular tissue. APOL1–APOL4 are clustered on human chro- mosome 22q13.1, as a result of tandem gene duplication, and were detected only in primates (humans and African green monkeys) and not in dogs, pigs, or rodents, showing that this gene cluster has arisen recently in evolution. The specific tissue distribution and gene organiza- tion suggest that these genes have diverged rapidly after duplication. This has resulted in the emergence of an additional signal peptide encoding exon that ensures secretion of the plasma high-density lipoprotein-associated APOL1. Our results show that the APOL1–APOL4 clus- ter might contribute to the substantial differences in the lipid metabolism of humans and mice, as dictated by the variable expression of genes involved in this process. Key Words: apolipoprotein L, gene cluster, duplication, evolution, endothelial cells, atherosclerosis, vascular wall, mouse lipid metabolism INTRODUCTION on chromosome 22, consisting of APOL1–APOL6 [6,7].

Recent advances in AHR biology have underlined its importance in cells with high developmental potency, including pluripotent stem cells. Nonetheless, there is little data on AHR expression and its role during the initial stages of stem cell differentiation. The purpose of this study was to investigate the temporal pattern of AHR expression during directed differentiation of human embryonic stem cells (hESC) into neural progenitor, early mesoderm and definitive endoderm cells.
