| 摘要 |
The present invention provides non-naturally occurring polypeptides that are oxidation resistant and have cholesterol efflux activity that parallels that of full-length apolipoproteins (e.g., Apo AI and Apo E), and having high selectivity for ABACI that parallels that of full-length apolipoproteins. The invention also provides compositions comprising such polypeptides, methods of identifying, screening and synthesizing such polypeptides, methods of treating, preventing or diagnosing diseases and disorders associated with dyslipidemia, hypercholesterolemia and inflammation; and diagnostic methods employing the peptides to evaluated cholesterol efflux activity.
