beta 2-Glycoprotein I

A 44-kDa highly glycosylated plasma protein that binds phospholipids including CARDIOLIPIN; APOLIPOPROTEIN E RECEPTOR; membrane phospholipids, and other anionic phospholipid-containing moieties. It plays a role in coagulation and apoptotic processes. Formerly known as apolipoprotein H, it is an autoantigen in patients with ANTIPHOSPHOLIPID ANTIBODIES.

Also Known As:

Apolipoprotein H; Anticardiolipin Cofactor; Apo H; EC-VMFa; Endothelial Cell-Viability Maintaining Factor; beta(2)GPI; beta2-Glycoprotein I; Cofactor, Anticardiolipin; EC VMFa; Endothelial Cell Viability Maintaining Factor; beta 2 Glycoprotein I; beta2 Glycoprotein I
