Background
The apolipoproteins are family of amphipathic lipoproteins that plays a crucial role in lipid metabolism. In particular, apolipoprotein E (apo E) is a major component of high density lipoproteins (HDL) chylomicrons and very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL), which functions to remove excess cholesterol. Apo E mediates lipid metabolism and cholesterol homeostasis by binding to several hepatic lipoprotein receptors, such as low density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR) and the LDLR-related protein (1). Apo E deficiency is linked to hyperlipoproteinemia type III; a genetic disorder characterized by elevated plasma cholesterol and triglyceride levels and accelerated coronary artery disease (2). Three major isoforms of Apo E (E2, E3, E4) has been identified, with E3 being the most common in human. E4 presence has been associated to increase probability of developing late-onset form of Alzheimer disease (3).

FAQs for Apolipoprotein E/ApoE Antibody (NB110-55466). (Showing 1 - 2 of 2 FAQs).
Which part of the APOE protein is recognize by APOE antibody (NB110-55466)? Is this antibody recognize residue 112 and 158?
The amino acid range this product was made to is between aa 267-317 of human Apolipoprotein E (Swiss Prot: P02649).
There are three isoforms for human ApoE (E2, E3 and E4), I'm wondering which isoform does this antibody bind to?
The antibody was generated using a peptide sequence specific to the C-terminus of P02649-1 (UniProt). In regards to the different isoforms - they differ by a few amino acids - ApoE2 (cys112, cys158), ApoE3 (cys112, arg158), and ApoE4 (arg112, arg158). None of these amino acids are part of the immunogen sequence. They do, however, alter the structure and function of ApoE protein. I expect that the antibody should recognize all the different isoforms, although we don't have any experimental data on this.
