APOLIPOPROTEIN E3

Genotyping of Apolipoprotein E

Apolipoprotein E (apo E) is a 299-amino acid plasma protein involved in cholesterol transport and is found in chylomicrons, very low density lipopro-tein, intermediate-density lipoprotein, and high-density lipoprotein (1 ,1 ).

Purification of Rat Hepatic Lipase Essentially Free of Apolipoprotein E and Apolipoprotein B

Hepatic lipase (HL) is necessary for efficient clearance of triglyceride-rich lipoproteins from plasma (1 ). In humans, HL deficiency leads to the accumulation of triglyceride-rich intermediate density lipoproteins (IDL), LDL, and large HDL

Apolipoprotein E Expression and Purification

Since the discovery of the association of apolipoprotein E (apoE) 4 with Alzheimer’s disease 17 years ago, numerous in vitro experiments with the apoE isoforms (apoE2, apoE3, and apoE4) have been performed to try to understand the basis
