Apo-D, human recombinant

Apolipoprotein-D (Apo-D) is mainly associated with high density lipoproteins in human plasma. It is expressed in numerous tissues having high levels of expression in spleen, testes and brain. Apo-D is a multiligand, multi-functional transporter and transports a ligand from 1 cell to another within an organ, scavenge a ligand within an organ for transport to the blood or could transport a ligand from the circulation to specific cells within a tissue. The recombinant human Apo-D expressed from E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated, Polypeptide chain containing 174 amino acids and having a molecular mass of 19.8 kDa
