Apolipoprotein E: Structural Insights and Links to Alzheimer Disease Pathogenesis.
Neuron, 2020 Apolipoprotein E (ApoE) is of great interest due to its role as a cholesterol/lipid transporter in the central nervous system (CNS) and as the most influential genetic risk factor for Alzheimer disease (AD).

Apolipoprotein Mimetic Peptides: A New Approach for the Treatment of Asthma
Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2012 New treatments are needed for severe asthmatics to improve disease control and avoid severe toxicities associated with oral corticosteroids. We have used a murine model of house dust mite (HDM)-induced asthma to identify steroid-unresponsive genes that ...

Production of a soluble and functional recombinant apolipoproteinD in the Pichia pastoris expression system [PDF]
, 2016 ApolipoproteinD (ApoD) is a human glycoprotein from the lipocalin family. ApoD contains a conserved central motif of an 8-stranded antiparallel β-sheet, which forms a beta-barrel that can be used for transport and storage of diverse hydrophobic ligands ...
