{"symbol":"APOA2","synonyms":["APOAII","APO-AII","APOA-II"],"name":"apolipoprotein A-II","description":"This gene encodes apolipoprotein (apo-) A-II, which is the second most abundant protein of the high density lipoprotein particles. The protein is found in plasma as a monomer, homodimer, or heterodimer with apolipoprotein D. Defects in this gene may result in apolipoprotein A-II deficiency or hypercholesterolemia.
