Human apolipoprotein E. The complete amino acid sequence
Open accessAbstract
The amino acid sequence of human apolipoprotein E (apo-E) has been determined.Apo-E2, one of the major isoforms of apolipoprotein E, is a polypeptide of 299 amino acids having a calculated molecular weight of 34,145.The isoform apo-E3 differs from apo-E2 by a single amino acid substitution of arginine for cysteine at residue 158 (italicized).The sequqnce of apo-E2 is:HzN-Lys-Val-Glu-Gln-Ala-Val-Glu-Thr-Glu-Pro-Glu-Pro-Glu-Leu-Arg-Gln-Gln-Thr-Glu-Trp-Gln-Ser-Gly-Gln-Arg-Trp-Glu-Leu-Ala-Leu-Gly-Arg-Phe-Trp-Asp-Tyr-Leu-Arg-Trp-Val-Gln-%-Leu-Ser-Glu-Gln-Val-Gln-Glu-Glu-Leu-Leu-Ser-Ser-Gln-Val-Thr-Gln-Glu-Leu-Arg-Ala-Leu-Met-Asp-Glu-Thr-Met-Lys-Glu-Leu-Lys-Ala-Tyr-Lys-Ser-Glu-Leu-Glu-Glu-Gln-Leu-Thr-Pro-Val-Ala-Glu-Glu-Thr-Arg-Ala-Arg-Leu-Ser-Lys-Glu-Leu-Gln-Ala-Ala-Gln-Ala-Arg-Leu-Gly-Ala-Asp-Met-Glu-Asp-Val-Cys-Gly-Arg-Leu-Val-Gln-Tyr-Arg-Gly-Glu-Val-Gln-Ala-Met-Leu-Gly-Gln-Ser-Thr-Glu-Glu-Leu-Arg-Val-Arg-Leu-Ala-Ser-His-Leu-Arg-Lys-Leu-Arg-Lys-Arg-Leu-Leu-Arg-Asp-Ala-Asp-Asp-Leu-Gln-Lys-Cys-Leu-Ala-Val-Tyr-Gln-Ala-Gly-Ala-Arg-Glu-Gly-Ala-Glu-Arg-Gly-Leu-Ser-Ala-Ile-Arg-Glu-Arg-Leu-Gly-Pro-Leu-Val-Glu-Gln-Gly-Arg-Val-Arg-Ala-Ala-%-Val-Gly-Ser-Leu-Ala-Gly-Gln-Pro-Leu-Gln-Glu-Arg-Ala-Gln-Ala-Trp-Gly-Glu-Arg-Leu-Arg-Ala-Arg

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
