Apolipoprotein E: Far More Than a Lipid Transport Protein
Abstract
First recognized as a major determinant in lipoprotein metabolism and cardiovascular disease, apolipoprotein (apo) E has emerged as an important molecule in several biological processes not directly related to its lipid transport function, including Alzheimer's disease and cognitive function, immunoregulation, and possibly even infectious diseases. ApoE is a polymorphic protein arising from three alleles at a single gene locus. The three major isoforms, apoE4, apoE3, and apoE2, differ from one another only by single amino acid substitutions, yet these changes have profound functional consequences at both the cellular and molecular levels. ApoE3 seems to be the normal isoform in all known functions, while apoE4 and apoE2 can each be dysfunctional. Isoform (allele)-specific effects include the association of apoE2 with the genetic disorder type III hyperlipoproteinemia and with both increased and decreased risk for atherosclerosis and the association of apoE4 with increased risk for both atherosclerosis and Alzheimer's disease, impaired cognitive function, and reduced neurite outgrowth; isoform-specific differences in cellular signaling events may also exist. Functional differences in the apoE isoforms that affect (or did affect) survival before the reproductive years probably account, at least in part, for the allele frequencies of the present day.

The striking vasculotropic effects observed in APP/ε2 mice may not be robustly seen in human subjects, where ε2 homozygotes constitute only 1% of the population, with less than 10% of them developing type III hyperlipoproteinemia.
“However, these striking vasculotropic effects observed here in APP/ε2 mice may not be robustly seen in human subjects, where ε2 homozygotes constitute only 1% of the population, with less than 10% of them developing type III hyperlipoproteinemia, what is linked to distinctly different contribution of apoE to VLDL formation between humans and mice [62].”

Mutations in APOE could alter the configuration of the APOE protein and further impact its binding ability to the LDL receptor, which could explain the formation of lipoprotein thrombi in the glomerulus.
“As serum apoE plays its role in lipid metabolism through the LDL receptor, the HSPG and LDL receptor‐related protein (LRP) pathway (Mahley & Rall Jr., 2000), mutations could alter the configuration of the APOE protein and further impact its binding ability to LDL receptor, which could explain the formation of lipoprotein thrombi in the glomerulus.”

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.
