A full length cDNA clone representing apolipoprotein A-I was isolated
from a sea bream (Sparus aurata) liver library. The clone encodes a 26
1 amino acid protein which shows highest amino acid identity (38%) wit
h salmon apolipoprotein A-I. Northern blot analysis showed strong expr
ession of a 1.4 kb transcript in liver with lower expression in intest
ine. Expression of apolipoprotein A-I in intestine was markedly reduce
