Introduction
Apolipoprotein E3 (ApoE) is a 34kDa protein component of serum chylomicrons, VLDL, and HDL particles. ApoE mediates the binding, uptake, and catabolism of these particles as a result of interactions with the ApoE receptor and LDL receptors in the liver and brain. ApoE is imperative in fatty acid homeostasis and memory formation. Polymorphisms encode 3 variants (ApoE2, 3, 4), which are differentially connected to the development of atherosclerosis and neurogenerative disorders, mainly Alzheimer's disease.
Description
APOE3 Human Recombinant (19-317) produced in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated, polypeptide chain containing 306 amino acids and having a molecular mass of 35.2kDa.
The APOE is fused to a Met and a 6 amino acid His tag [M-HHHHHH] at N-terminus and purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
