Description:
Apolipoproteins of the L family (APOL) are lipid-binding proteins involved in lipid transport and metabolism. Lipids are important in several cellular processes, such as modulation of gene transcription and signal transduction (steroid hormones, second messengers and membrane function). Some APOL members are also implicated in host innate immunity with an important role in autophagy and apoptosis. The APOL gene family consists of six members located in close proximity to each other on chromosome 22. Altered expression of APOL2 and APOL4 genes associated with symptoms of schizophrenia. A polymorphism in the APOL4-APOL2 intergenic region was shown to influence HbF levels in the general population of Sardinia.
