Bio-Agent Context: Research Results

1. Tangier Disease
10/15/1985 - "These results are interpreted as indicating that there is no major structural defect in Tangier apo-A-I, and the rapid rate of catabolism of apo-A-I in Tangier disease is due to a post-translational defect in apo-A-I metabolism."
04/01/1982 - "Tangier disease: a structural defect in apolipoprotein A-I (apoA-I Tangier)."
10/01/1983 - "These results suggest that the underlying defect in Tangier disease may be a faulty conversion of pro-apo A-I to mature apo A-I, either due to a defect in the converting enzyme activity or to a further specific structural defect in Tangier apo A-I. The failure of Tangier pro-apo A-I to associate with HDL may be at least partially responsible for the HDL deficiency in Tangier subjects."
11/01/1982 - "These data are consistent with the concept that apoA-I(Tangier) is functionally and metabolically distinct from normal apoA-I, and is the cause of the striking hypercatabolism of apoA-I and apoA-II, and the lipoprotein abnormalities observed in Tangier disease."
04/01/1982 - "These results have been interpreted as indicating that apoA-I Tangier has a different covalent structure than does normal apoA-I, and apoA-II Tangier is identical to normal apoA-II. This structural change in apoA-I Tangier is associated with rapid catabolism of apoA-I Tangier-and apoA-II Tangier-containing plasma lipoproteins, and it leads to the deficiency in high density lipoproteins, abnormal chylomicron remnants, and the intracellular accumulation of cholesterol ester characteristic of Tangier disease."
