Apo A1 is the main protein component of HDL (High Density Lipoprotein). Apo A1 activates lecithin cholesterol acyltransferase which catalyses the esterification of cholesterol. The resulting esterified cholesterol can then be transported to the liver, metabolised and excreted. Persons with athero-sclerotic vascular changes frequently exhibit decreased levels of Apo A1. Even if the concentrations of apolipoprotein B are normal, a decreased Apo A1 level may be a risk factor for atherosclerotic processes. Decreased levels of Apo A1 also occur in dyslipoproteinemias, acute hepatic cirrhosis and insulin-treated patients.
