apolipoprotein A-I,

a protein component of lipoprotein complexes found in high-density lipoprotein (HDL) and chylomicrons. It is an activator of lecithin-cholesterol acyltransferase, which forms cholesteryl esters in HDL. All apoproteins of plasma lipoproteins bind and transport lipid in the blood. A deficiency of apolipoprotein A-I is associated with low HDL levels and Tangier disease.

apolipoprotein A-I

A 28 kD single chain protein that comprises 75% of the ApoA in HDL; apoA-I is the major protein constituent of lipoproteins, and participates in cholesterol transport by activating LCAT-lecithin:cholesterol acyltransferase; apoA-I levels are inversely proportional to the risk of CAD
