ApoE influences amyloid-β (Aβ) clearance despite minimal apoE/Aβ association in physiological conditions
25 Apr 2013
Abstract excerpt
Apolipoprotein E gene (APOE) alleles may shift the onset of Alzheimer's disease (AD) through apoE protein isoforms changing the probability of amyloid-β (Aβ) accumulation. It has been proposed that differential physical interactions of apoE isoforms with soluble Aβ (sAβ) in brain fluids influence the metabolism of Aβ, providing a mechanism to account for how APOE influences AD risk. In contrast, we provide clear...
