Human apolipoprotein C-II: complete nucleic acid sequence of preapolipoprotein C-II.

Human apolipoprotein C-II: complete nucleic acid sequence of preapolipoprotein C-II.

Apolipoprotein (apo) C-II is a cofactor for lipoprotein lipase, the enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of triglycerides on plasma triglyceride-rich lipoproteins. The complete coding sequence of apoC-II mRNA has been determined from an apoC-II clone isolated from a human liver cDNA library. A 17-base-long synthetic oligonucleotide based on amino acid residues 5-10 of apoC-II was utilized as a ...

Amino acid sequence of human plasma apolipoprotein C-II from normal and hyperlipoproteinemic subjects.

The complete amino acid sequence of human plasma apolipoprotein C-II isolated from normal individuals and a subject with type V hyperlipoproteinemia has been determined. Apo-C-II contains 79 amino acids with the following amino acid composition: Asp4, Asn1, Thr9, Ser9, Glu7, Gln7, Pro4, Gly2, Ala6, Val4, Met2, Ile1, Leu8, Tyr5, Phe2, Lys6, Arg1, Trp1. Cleavage of apo-C-II by cyanogen bromide pr...

Apolipoprotein C-II deficiency: detection of immunoreactive apolipoprotein C-II in the intestinal mucosa of two patients.

Recent data suggest that mutant immunoreactive forms of apolipoprotein C-II (apoC-II) can be detected in the plasma of patients with the apoC-II deficiency syndrome. We studied the possible presence of apoC-II mutants in the plasma of two patients with apoC-II deficiency by immunological means. The patients were hypertriglyceridemic, and apoC-II was undetectable in plasma as determined by radia...

Symmetric Sequence Subspaces of C(α), II

If α is an ordinal, then the space of all ordinals less than or equal to α is a compact Hausdorff space when endowed with the order topology. Let C(α) be the space of all continuous real-valued functions defined on the ordinal interval [0, α]. We characterize the symmetric sequence spaces which embed into C(α) for some countable ordinal α. A hierarchy (Eα) of symmetric sequence spaces is constr...
