Molecular biology of apolipoprotein E
Current Opinion in Lipidology, 2002Apolipoprotein E, first identified 26 years ago as a serum protein that mediates extracellular cholesterol transport, is now known to regulate multiple additional metabolic pathways. Several clinically important disorders of the vasculature and brain are differentially caused, or modified, by the three isoforms of this protein.

Apolipoprotein E genotype and psychosis
Biological Psychiatry, 1997Apolipoprotein E (Apo E) is a protein with 299 amino acids coded by a gene on chromosome 19. The three major isoforms of Apo E (Apo E2, Apo E3, and Apo E4) are products of three alleles (Apo E-e2, Apo E-e3, and Apo E-e4). Inheriting the e4 allele of the Apo E is associated with increased risk of developing Alzheimer's disease (AD).

Apolipoprotein E levels in vegetarians
Metabolism, 1982Vegetarians are known to have low lipoprotein lipid and apolipoprotein Al and B levels. Since dietary cholesterol has recently been shown to have important effects on apolipoprotein E (apo E) metabolism, we measured plasma apo E levels in three groups of vegetarians. Group I (n = 36) consumed less than 10 mg cholesterol daily and 42% of calories as fat

ApolipoproteinE and Alzheimer's Disease
Biochemical Society Transactions, 1996Abstract: The specific molecular pathway by which apolipoprotein E modifies the expression of Alzheimer's disease remains elusive. Isoform‐ specific interactions of apolipoprotein E with other molecules determine the outcome from other neurologic disorders and may provide more tractable model systems.

Apolipoprotein E and cholesterol metabolism
Klinische Wochenschrift, 1983The role of apo-E in mediating lipoprotein interaction with specific receptors has been established. Through the use of selective chemical modification of specific amino acid residues of certain lipoproteins, we have gained insight into the importance of the lysine and arginine residues in this process. This understanding has been expanded by structure-

Apolipoprotein E and Alzheimer disease
Neurology, 2006Apolipoprotein (apo) E, a multifunctional protein with central roles in lipid metabolism and neurobiology, has three common isoforms (apoE2, apoE3, and apoE4) with different effects on lipid homeostasis and neurobiology. Unlike apoE3, the most common isoform, apoE4, is associated with increased risk of developing Alzheimer disease (AD) and other ...

American journal of human genetics, 1988
Human apolipoprotein (apo) E is polymorphic. We have investigated the effect of the apo-E polymorphism on quantitative plasma levels of apo E, apo B, and total cholesterol in a sample of 563 blood-bank donors from Marburg and Giessen, West Germany. The relative frequencies of the epsilon 2, epsilon 3, and epsilon 4 alleles are .063, .793, and .144 ...

Apolipoprotein E and Alzheimer's disease
Current Opinion in Neurobiology, 1994The past year has seen widespread confirmation that the epsilon 4 allele of the apolipoprotein E gene is a major risk factor for Alzheimer's disease. The epsilon 4 allele also appears to correlate with life expectancy. This allele has been found to be present in over 50% of Alzheimer patients, regardless of whether or not they have a family history of ...
