ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides isolated apolipoprotein transcription factors and gene regulatory elements. The invention also provides methods of modulating apolipoprotein gene expression by interfering with interactions between apolipoprotein transcription factors and their cognate regulatory elements and/or by interfering with protein-protein interactions between or among apolipoprotein transcription factors or between an apolipoprotein transcription factor and the transcription machinery. This invention has application in the treatment of disorders relating to lipid metabolism (e.g. atherosclerosis, hypertriglyceridemia, etc.).
