Abstract excerpt
We have previously demonstrated an apolipoprotein E (apo E) mutant, apo E5, associated with hyperlipidemia and atherosclerotic vascular diseases. To investigate the possible mechanism of apo E5 involvement in the development of hyperlipidemia, we have isolated the apo E isoprotein and determined its binding activity to LDL (low density lipoprotein) receptors. It was shown that the apo E5 isoprotein was two times...
