| apolipoprotein E |
A protein whose main function is to transport cholesterol. The gene for this protein is on chromosome 19 and is referred to as APOE. There are three forms of APOE: e2, e3, and e4. APOE-e4 is associated with about 60 percent of late-onset Alzheimer

| apolipoprotein E |
a gene situated on chromosome 19 that codes for a protein in lipoproteins that are normal constituents of blood plasma, for example HDL (high density lipoprotein), LDL (low density lipoprotein), and VLDL (very low density lipoprotein). There are a number of common variations (alleles) of the APOE gene, the most common of which are known as: e2, e3, and e4. Research has shown that people who inherit one or more copies of the APOEe4 gene are at increased risk of developing Alzheimer's disease. ...

| apolipoprotein E |
Protein subunit of chylomicrons that transport cholesterol and fatty acids through the bloodstream. Alterations of this protein affect the binding and release of fatty acids and cholesterol, especially at the site of lipoprotein lipase at the blood brain barrier. One gene variant, ApoE4, is considered a genetic risk factor for AD. ...
