Description
Purified anti-Apo E, 109-116. Apolipoprotein E (Apo E) belongs to a class of apolipoproteins that mediate the binding, internalization, and catabolism of lipoprotein particles. Apo E is produced by the liver and macrophages in peripheral tissues where it regulates cholesterol metabolism. In the central nervous system, Apo E is primarily produced by astrocytes and plays an important role in transporting cholesterol to neurons via Apo E receptors. Apo E has three alleles (ApoE2, ApoE3 and ApoE4) that differ from each other by only one or two amino acids at positions 112 and 158. ApoE 4 is one of the largest known genetic risk factors for late-onset Alzheimer's disease. Furthermore, Apo E is associated with cardiovascular disease, Lipoprotein Glomerulopathy and Sea-Blue Histiocyte Disease.
