APOF
Introduction
Apolipoprotein F is a protein that in humans is encoded for by the APOF gene.[1][2]
The product of this gene is one of the minor apolipoproteins found in plasma. This protein forms complexes with lipoproteins and may be involved in transport and/or esterification of cholesterol.[2]
