Apolipoprotein H (ApoH) is a 50 kDa glycoprotein capable of binding to negatively charged phospholipids and is a probable inhibitor of the blood coagulation pathway, platelet aggregation, and platelet prothrombinase activity, as well as being involved in autoimmune disease. We have cloned and sequenced a full length ApoH cDNA clone from a beagle dog liver library. Its derived amino acid sequence shows high cross-species similarity to ApoH from other mammals. Canine ApoH mRNA expression is down regulated during an experimentally induced inflammatory response establishing that it is a negative acute phase reactant.
载脂蛋白H(ApoH)是一种50 kDa的糖蛋白,能够与带负电荷的磷脂结合,可能是血液凝固途径、血小板聚集和血小板凝血酶原酶活性的抑制剂,并且参与自身免疫性疾病。我们已经从比格犬肝脏文库中克隆并测序了一个全长ApoH cDNA克隆。其推导的氨基酸序列与其他哺乳动物的ApoH具有高度的跨物种相似性。在实验诱导的炎症反应期间,犬ApoH mRNA表达下调,表明它是一种负急性期反应物。
