ACLP promotes macrophage cholesterol retention, the formation of foam cells, and inflammatory responses. It is also an extracellular matrix-associated protein found in fibrotic tissues including vascular smooth muscle. An alternately spliced isoform lacks aa 1-457 and has an altered sequence at its N-terminus.
