ApoE plays a critical role in lipoprotein metabolism and plasma lipid homeostasis through its high-affinity binding to the LDL-receptor family. In solution, apoE is an oligomeric protein and the C-terminal domain causes apoE's aggregation. The aggregation property presents a major difficulty for the structural determination of this protein. A high-level expression system of the apoE C-terminal domain is reported...
