APOH (apolipoprotein H, ß-2-glycoprotein I) is a single chain polymorphic glycoprotein involved in phospholipid binding interactions on platelets. It exists in plasma both in a free form and in combination with lipoprotein particles. It contains 11 disulfide bridges and four N-linked glycosylation sites with molecular mass of ~43kDa. It comprises of four short consensus repeat (SCRs) from the complement control protein (CCP) module type and an extra fifth C-terminal domain.

Application: All Prestige Antibodies Powered by Atlas Antibodies are developed and validated by the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) project (www.proteinatlas.org)and as a result, are supported by the most extensive characterization in the industry. The Human Protein Atlas project can be subdivided into three efforts: Human Tissue Atlas, Cancer Atlas, and Human Cell Atlas. The antibodies that have been generated in support of the Tissue and Cancer Atlas projects have been tested by immunohistochemistry against hundreds of normal and disease tissues and through the recent efforts of the Human Cell Atlas project, many have been characterized by immunofluorescence to map the human proteome not only at the tissue level but now at the subcellular level. These images and the collection of this vast data set can be viewed on the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) site by clicking on the Image Gallery link.

Biochem Physiol Actions: APOH (apolipoprotein H, ß-2-glycoprotein I) is associated with a variety of physiological pathways, including blood coagulation and immune response. It plays an essential role as a cofactor for the binding of certain antiphospholipid antibodies (APA) to anionic phospholipid. It consists of a positively charged lysine-rich domain which binds to negatively charged surfaces including heparin, DNA, cell membranes, endothelial cells,macrophages and acidic phospholipids.
