Gene Description

APOH (beta2-glycoprotein I, apolipoprotein H) is an abundant liver-derived plasma glycoprotein built from five complement control protein (sushi) domains; domain V carries a lysine-rich loop that binds anionic phospholipids. It binds negatively charged surfaces such as anionic phospholipids, heparin and dextran sulfate, and inhibits contact activation of the intrinsic coagulation pathway in plasma. It associates with serum lipoproteins, binds the ligand-binding modules of LDL-receptor-family proteins through domain V, forms complexes with platelet factor 4, apolipoprotein(a) and mannose-binding lectin, and acts as a cofactor for tPA-mediated plasminogen activation. Plasmin cleavage in domain V produces nicked beta2GPI, which binds plasminogen, inhibits plasmin generation and has anti-angiogenic activity. Its physiological function remains uncertain. beta2GPI is the main antigen of antiphospholipid antibodies in the antiphospholipid syndrome.

Suggested Questions for Experts

Q: Is lipoprotein lipase activation by apolipoprotein H reproducible, given that the activity rests on a 1980 study and later genetic associations with triglyceride levels?

Q: Which of beta2GPI's reported activities (anticoagulant, plasminogen cofactor, anti-angiogenic after nicking) matter in vivo, given that its physiological function is still described as unknown?

Suggested Experiments

Experiment: Measure contact activation, plasminogen activation and lipoprotein lipase activity in plasma from APOH-deficient individuals with and without added purified beta2GPI.
