Summary

APOB (apolipoprotein B, HGNC:603) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 2p24.1, encoding Apolipoprotein B-100 (P04114). Apolipoprotein B is a major protein constituent of chylomicrons (apo B-48), LDL (apo B-100) and VLDL (apo B-100). It is haploinsufficient (ClinGen: sufficient evidence).

This gene product is the main apolipoprotein of chylomicrons and low density lipoproteins (LDL), and is the ligand for the LDL receptor. It occurs in plasma as two main isoforms, apoB-48 and apoB-100: the former is synthesized exclusively in the gut and the latter in the liver. The intestinal and the hepatic forms of apoB are encoded by a single gene from a single, very long mRNA. The two isoforms share a common N-terminal sequence. The shorter apoB-48 protein is produced after RNA editing of the apoB-100 transcript at residue 2180 (CAA->UAA), resulting in the creation of a stop codon, and early translation termination. Mutations in this gene or its regulatory region cause hypobetalipoproteinemia, normotriglyceridemic hypobetalipoproteinemia, and hypercholesterolemia due to ligand-defective apoB, diseases affecting plasma cholesterol and apoB levels.

Function. Apolipoprotein B is a major protein constituent of chylomicrons (apo B-48), LDL (apo B-100) and VLDL (apo B-100). Apo B-100 functions as a recognition signal for the cellular binding and internalization of LDL particles by the apoB/E receptor.

Subunit / interactions. Interacts with PCSK9. Interacts with MTTP. Interacts with AUP1. Interacts with CIDEB.

Subcellular location. Cytoplasm. Secreted. Lipid droplet.

Post-translational modifications. Palmitoylated; structural requirement for proper assembly of the hydrophobic core of the lipoprotein particle.

Disease relevance. Hypobetalipoproteinemia, familial, 1 (FHBL1) [MIM:615558] A disorder of lipid metabolism characterized by less than 5th percentile age- and sex-specific levels of low density lipoproteins, and dietary fat malabsorption. Clinical presentation may vary from no symptoms to severe gastrointestinal and neurological dysfunction similar to abetalipoproteinemia. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry. Most cases of FHBL1 result from nonsense mutations in the APOB gene that lead to a premature stop codon, which generate prematurely truncated apo B protein products. Hypercholesterolemia, familial, 2 (FHCL2) [MIM:144010] A form of hypercholesterolemia, a disorder of lipoprotein metabolism characterized by elevated serum low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol levels, which result in excess deposition of cholesterol in tissues and leads to xanthelasma, xanthomas, accelerated atherosclerosis and increased risk of premature coronary heart disease. FHCL2 inheritance is autosomal dominant. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry. Defects in APOB associated with defects in other genes (polygenic) can contribute to hypocholesterolemia.

Induction. Up-regulated in response to enterovirus 71 (EV71) infection (at protein level).

Polymorphism. Genetic variations in APOB define the low density lipoprotein cholesterol level quantitative trait locus 4 (LDLCQ4) [MIM:615558].
