APOE gene encodes for Apolipoprotein E, a main apoprotein of the chylomicron. ApoE is a 299 amino acid containing plasma protein with a molecular weight of 34kDa. It is synthesized primarily in liver and is mapped on to chromosome 19 in a cluster with APOC1 and APOC2.
Immunogen
Synthetic peptide directed towards the N terminal region of human APOE
Application
Anti-APOE antibody produced in rabbit is suitable for western blotting at a concentration of 1μg/mL.
Biochem/physiol Actions
ApoE binds to its specific receptor and mediates the transport of lipid and cholesterol, ligands for the low-density lipoprotein (LDL) and very low density lipoprotein (VLDL) receptors, through the bloodstream. It is also involved in repair mechanism against tissue injury. For example, increased amounts of apolipoprotein E are present at peripheral nerve injury and regeneration site. Mutation in APOE gene leads to familial dysbetalipoproteinemia, or type III hyperlipoproteinemia (HLP III), in which increased plasma cholesterol and triglycerides results in impaired clearance of chylomicron and VLDL remnant.

We identified the first insertion mutation that specifies an apolipoprotein (apo)B truncation, apoB-70.5, in a father and son with hypobetalipoproteinemia (total and low-density lipoprotein [LDL] cholesterol < 5th percentile, plasma apoB levels approximately one third of normal). The mutation is

The gene for human apolipoprotein E (apo-E) was selected from a library of cloned genomic DNA by screening with a specific cDNA hybridization probe, and its structure was characterized. The complete nucleotide sequence of the gene as well as 856
Rare mutations in the APOE gene, undetectable with the usual genotyping technique, are responsible for dominant familial dysbetalipoproteinemia (FD) and therefore could be easily misclassified as familial combined hyperlipidemia (FCHL). We aimed to identify APOE mutations associated with dominant combined

Apolipoprotein E is a plasma protein that serves as a ligand for low density lipoprotein receptors and, through its interaction with these receptors, participates in the transport of cholesterol and other lipids among various cells of the body. A mutant
Vγ9Vδ2 T cells are activated by phosphoantigens, such as isopentenyl pyrophosphate (IPP), which is generated in the mevalonate pathway of antigen-presenting cells. IPP is released in the extracellular microenvironment via unknown mechanisms. Here we show that the ATP-binding cassette transporter
