Description

Background

APOE is a vital protein involved in the transportation of lipids between organs through plasma and interstitial fluids. It plays a crucial role in the production, conversion, and clearance of plasma lipoproteins. APOE interacts with various lipoprotein particles, such as chylomicrons, chylomicron remnants, VLDL, and IDL, with a preference for HDL. It also binds to numerous cellular receptors, including LDLR and VLDLR, facilitating the uptake of APOE-containing lipoproteins by cells. Additionally, APOE possesses heparin-binding activity and binds to heparan-sulfate proteoglycans on cell surfaces, which aids in the capture and receptor-mediated uptake of APOE-containing lipoproteins. Furthermore, APOE forms a homotetramer and may interact with ABCA1 in HDL biogenesis. It can also interact with APP/A4 amyloid-beta peptide, MAPT, MAP2, and secreted SORL1 in the cerebrospinal fluid, and with PMEL to induce fibril nucleation on intraluminal vesicles.
