Abstract excerpt
Differences in affinity of human apolipoprotein E (apoE) isoforms for the low density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR) are thought to result in the differences in lipid metabolism observed in humans with different APOE genotypes. Mice expressing three common human apoE isoforms, E2, E3, and E4, in place of endogenous mouse apoE were used to investigate the relative roles of apoE isoforms in LDLR- and non-LDLR-mediated...
