Association of apolipoprotein E genotype with brain levels of apolipoprotein E and apolipoprotein J (clusterin) in Alzheimer disease.

Abstract excerpt

This study examines the relationship between the levels of apolipoprotein E (apoE) and apolipoprotein J (apoJ, also designated as clusterin) as a function of apoE genotype in the hippocampus and cortex of Alzheimer disease (AD) subjects. These two lipophilic proteins which are involved in the maintenance of lipid homeostasis are both synthesized in the brain by astrocytes. Results indicate a reduction of apoE...
