Apolipoprotein L2 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the APOL2 gene.{{cite journal |vauthors=Dunham I, Shimizu N, Roe BA, Chissoe S, Hunt AR, Collins JE, Bruskiewich R, Beare DM, Clamp M, Smink LJ, Ainscough R, Almeida JP, Babbage A, Bagguley C, Bailey J, Barlow K, Bates KN, Beasley O, Bird CP, Blakey S, Bridgeman AM, Buck D, Burgess J, Burrill WD, O'Brien KP | title = The DNA sequence of human chromosome 22 | journal = Nature | volume = 402 | issue = 6761 | pages = 489–95 |date=Dec 1999 | pmid = 10591208 | doi = 10.1038/990031 | bibcode = 1999Natur.402..489D |display-authors=etal| doi-access = free }}{{cite journal |vauthors=Page NM, Butlin DJ, Lomthaisong K, Lowry PJ | title = The human apolipoprotein L gene cluster: identification, classification, and sites of distribution | journal = Genomics | volume = 74 | issue = 1 | pages = 71–8 |date=May 2001 | pmid = 11374903 | doi = 10.1006/geno.2001.6534 }}{{cite web | title = Entrez Gene: APOL2 apolipoprotein L, 2| url = https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/sites/entrez?Db=gene&Cmd=ShowDetailView&TermToSearch=23780}}

This gene is a member of the apolipoprotein L gene family and protein in this family are lipid-binding proteins. This gene encodes a 37.1 kDa protein and The protein sequence contains 337bp. Localization of this protein is mainly found in the cytosol, nucleoplasm and additionally, it is also seen in the Nuclear bodies.{{cite web | title = The Human Protein atlas Gene: APOL2 apolipoprotein L, 2| url = https://www.proteinatlas.org/ENSG00000128335-APOL2/tissue#gene_information }} The involvement of this gene may affect in the movement of lipids and binding of lipids to organelles. Two transcript variants encoding the same protein have been found for this gene.
