Abstract excerpt
A recent genetic study demonstrated associations between an altered risk of Alzheimer's disease (AD) and two polymorphisms in the lipoprotein lipase (LPL) gene, Asn291Ser and Ser447Ter. LPL immunostains senile plaques, and is a ligand of the low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein (LRP), a major apolipoprotein E (apoE) receptor. LPL increases the cellular uptake of apoE via LRP, and polymorphisms in LPL...
