Apolipoprotein B gene expression and regulation in relation to Alzheimer’s disease pathophysiology

Abstract excerpt

Apolipoprotein B (APOB), a receptor-binding protein present in cholesterol-rich lipoproteins, has been implicated in Alzheimer's disease (AD). High levels of APOB-containing low-density lipoproteins (LDL) are linked to the pathogenesis of both early-onset familial and late-onset sporadic AD. Rare coding mutations in the APOB gene are associated with familial AD, suggesting a role for APOB-bound lipoproteins in...
