Previously we cloned the human macrophage apolipoprotein B-48 receptor (ApoB-48R) and documented its expression in human atherosclerotic foam cells (1). Now we have identified and characterized the murine macrophage apob-48r cDNA gene sequence and its chromosomal location. The cDNA (3,615 bp) -deduc...
