Apolipoprotein E polymorphism in a Romanian population
Romanian Journal of Cardiology, 2023 Background: Apolipoprotein E (ApoE) is a ubiquitous protein involved in maintaining cholesterol homeostasis and lipoprotein clearance from circulation. It is coded by three alleles (ε2, ε3, ε4) with six genotypes (ε3/ε3, ε3/ε4, ε2/ε3, ε4/ε4, ε2/ε4, and ...

C2238/αANP modulates apolipoprotein E through Egr-1/miR199a in vascular smooth muscle cells in vitro [PDF]
, 2015 Subjects carrying the T2238C ANP gene variant have a higher risk to suffer a stroke or myocardial infarction. The mechanisms through which T2238C/αANP exerts detrimental vascular effects need to be fully clarified.

Herpes Simplex Virus Type 1 in the Brain, Apolipoprotein E Genotype and Alzheimer’s Disease
McGill Journal of Medicine, 2020 The ε4 allele of apolipoprotein E (apoE) is an important risk factor for Alzheimer's disease (AD), however, it is not required nor sufficient to cause the disease on its own.

Human central nervous system (CNS) ApoE isoforms are increased by age, differentially altered by amyloidosis, and relative amounts reversed in the CNS compared with plasma [PDF]
, 2016 The risk of Alzheimer's disease (AD) is highly dependent on apolipoprotein-E (apoE) genotype. The reasons for apoE isoform-selective risk are uncertain; however, both the amounts and structure of human apoE isoforms have been hypothesized to lead to ...

Acta Biomedica Scientifica, 2016 We determined three isoforms of APOEprotein differing by amino acid residues in 112 and 158 positions: aroE2 (112Cys, 158Cys), apoE3 (112Cys, 158Arg) and aroE4 (112Arg, 158Arg).
