Apolipoprotein E and familial longevity [PDF]
Exceptional longevity is associated with substantial heritability. The ε4 allele in apolipoprotein E and the linked G allele in rs2075650 of TOMM40 have been associated with increased mortality and the ε2 allele with decreased mortality, although inconsistently.

The Carboxyl-Terminal Segment of Apolipoprotein A-V Undergoes a Lipid-Induced Conformational Change [PDF]
Apolipoprotein (apo) A-V is a 343-residue, multidomain protein that plays an important role in regulation of plasma triglyceride homeostasis. Primary sequence analysis revealed a unique tetraproline sequence (Pro293-Pro296) near the carboxyl terminus of ...

Apolipoprotein E and renal disease [PDF]
Apolipoprotein E (ApoE) is a major constituent of plasma lipoproteins with many biological actions of great significance. Beyond the known influence of ApoE polymorphisms on serum lipid profile, the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis, and the development of neurodegenerative disorders, ApoE also has a major role in the pathogenesis and progression of a ...
