[Apolipoprotein E].

Abstract excerpt

Apolipoprotein E (apo E) is one of the apolipoprotein components in very low density lipoproteins (VLDL) and high density lipoproteins (HDL). Apo E binds to low density lipoprotein (LDL) receptors and apo E-specific remnant receptors, and regulates remnant lipoprotein metabolism through these receptors in the liver. In the general population, apo E shows genetic heterogeneity, with three alleles (epsilon 4,...
