    text
  • three distinct forms: (1) a glycosylated and secreted 55kDa protein, (2) an ER/Golgi-resident form thereof, and (3) a non-glycosylated 22kDa mitochondrial protein
  • basic FUNCTION
  • apolipoprotein that is present predominantly in high density lipoprotein (HDL)
  • represents a link between impaired mitochondrial function and cardiomyopathy onset
  • APOO and APOOL, regulate their levels in an antagonistic manner
  • in liver enhances likely hepatic lipid accumulation by impairing mitochondrial function
  • is linked to cardiolipin metabolism and promotes crista junction formation
  • CELLULAR PROCESS
    PHYSIOLOGICAL PROCESS
    PATHWAY
    metabolism
    signaling
    a component
  • CHCHD6, APOOL and APOO appear to be periphery subunits of the MICOS complex, because their depletion does not affect cristae morphology or stability of other components
  • APOO and APOOL were suggested to represent constituents of the mammalian Mitofilin/MINOS complex

    TypeGene ModificationChromosome rearrangementProtein expressionProtein Function
    constitutional     --over  
    overexpression of APOO induced fragmentation of mitochondria, promoted ROS formation and resulted in impaired mitochondrial respiration
    constitutional     --low  
    depletion led to alterations in mitochondrial ultrastructure and caused a significant reduction in the number of crista junctions
