(a) Amino acid sequences of the five apoAII isoforms (ApoAII-ATQ/ATQ, -ATQ/AT, -AT/AT, -AT/A, and -A/A). Two peptides were dimerized via an N-terminal disulfide bond. (b) Direction of proteolytic digestion (long arrow) and the alteration of the isoforms (box arrows) in hyper- and hypoprocessing patterns (originally produced according to [4]).
