Apolipoprotein E/APOE3 Protein, Human (HEK293, His)
Based on 2 publication(s) in Google Scholar
Apolipoprotein E/ApoE3 is an apolipoprotein isoform that mediates lipid transport and plays a crucial role in lipid homeostasis in both plasma and the central nervous system by binding to LDL receptors (LDLR), LDL receptor-related proteins (LRP1, LRP2, LRP8), Very Low-Density Lipoprotein Receptor (VLDLR), and Heparin. The Apolipoprotein E/ApoE3 Protein, Human (HEK293, His) is a recombinant protein with a His tag at the N-terminus, consisting of 299 amino acids (K19-H317), and is expressed in HEK293 cells.

Description
Apolipoprotein E/ApoE3 is an apolipoprotein isoform that mediates lipid transport and plays a crucial role in lipid homeostasis in both plasma and the central nervous system by binding to LDL receptors (LDLR), LDL receptor-related proteins (LRP1, LRP2, LRP8), Very Low-Density Lipoprotein Receptor (VLDLR), and Heparin. The Apolipoprotein E/ApoE3 Protein, Human (HEK293, His) is a recombinant protein with a His tag at the N-terminus, consisting of 299 amino acids (K19-H317), and is expressed in HEK293 cells[1].
Background
Apolipoprotein E/APOE3 is an amphiphilic molecule that interacts with both the lipid core of lipoprotein particles and the aqueous environment of plasma[3]. Apolipoprotein E/APOE3 regulates plasma and central nervous system lipid metabolism by binding to LDL receptor (LDLR), LDL receptor-related proteins (LRP1, LRP2, LRP8), and Very Low-Density Lipoprotein Receptor (VLDLR) as well as heparin (Heparin)[9][10][12]. Apolipoprotein E/APOE3 first promotes HDL (high-density lipoprotein) synthesis by interacting with ABCA1 and then transports HDL from peripheral tissues to the liver, thereby clearing cholesterol from it. Apolipoprotein E/APOE3 plays an important role in regulating cholesterol homeostasis[11]. Apolipoprotein E/APOE can bind to the immune cell receptor LILRB4 to modulate immune responses[13]. Apolipoprotein E/APOE3 can activate MAP3K12 and atypical MAPK signaling pathways to enhance AP-1-mediated APP transcription[14].
In Vitro
Apolipoprotein E/ApoE3 (Human) (3 μM, 24 hours) provides a certain degree of protection against the inflammatory response induced by β-Amyloid (1-42) (HY-P1388) in neonatal rat astrocytes (NRA)[5]. Apolipoprotein E/ApoE3 (Human) (10 μg/mL, 48 hours) enhances Aβ synthesis in neurons derived from mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEF)[5].
In Vivo
Apolipoprotein E/ApoE3 (Human) enhances diet-induced hypercholesterolemia and atherosclerosis in transgenic C57BL/6J mice with the hAPOE3 allele-targeted replacement of the Apolipoprotein E gene[6]. Apolipoprotein E/ApoE3 (Human) releases cholesterol extracellularly in astrocytes of hApoE3 transgenic mice by producing high-density lipoprotein (HDL)-like particles[8].
Verified Bioactivity
Measured in a cell proliferation assay using SH-SY5Y cells.The ED50 for this effect is 10-25 ng/mL.
