Popis: In this study we prepared a pure apolipoprotein D and obtained a specific antiserum to it. The purified apolipoprotein D migrated as a single band of Mr = 29,000 but appeared as five isoforms on isoelectrofocusing. The antiserum did not cross-react with other apolipoproteins. Immunoenzymatic staining revealed the presence of apolipoprotein D in the perinuclear area of the cytoplasm of isolated normal hepatocytes and HepG2 cells. Apolipoprotein D was also localized in intestinal epithelium and in liver cells. The intracellular distribution of apolipoprotein D was similar to that of apolipoprotein B. Our results indicated that apolipoprotein D, like many other circulating apolipoproteins, is synthesized in enterocytes and hepatocytes.
