Entrez gene summary

This gene encodes apolipoprotein (apo-) A-II, which is the second most abundant protein of the high density lipoprotein particles. The protein is found in plasma as a monomer, homodimer, or heterodimer with apolipoprotein D. Defects in this gene may result in apolipoprotein A-II deficiency or hypercholesterolemia.

Staining summary

Leydig cells and subsets of renal tubuli exhibited weak cytoplasmic staining while cells in the adrenal gland displayed moderate membranous positivity. Most remaining normal tissues were negative. Plasma was distinctly stained and extracellular positivity was often observed.
