STAB2 and atherosclerosis: In this study, we demonstrated that Aath5 affects atherosclerosis by establishing an Apoe−/− line on a 129S6 background that are homozygous for Aath5 of DBA/2J allele, and further examined the role of Stab2 in atherosclerosis by generating Stab2−/−Apoe−/− mice on a C57BL/6J background.
