apolipoprotein E,

a protein component of lipoprotein complexes found in very-low-density lipoprotein (VLDL), high-density lipoprotein, chylomicrons, and chylomicron remnants. It facilitates hepatic uptake of chylomicron and VLDL remnants and is elevated in patients with type III hyperlipoproteinemia. One form of apolipoprotein E has been linked to Alzheimer's disease.

apolipoprotein E

A 34-kD cholesterol-binding glycoprotein, which comprises 15% of VLDL; apoE maps to chromosome 19, is secreted by macrophages that mediate the uptake of lipoproteins–VLDL, HDL, LDL and cholesterol esters into cells via distinct binding domains for each receptor; apo-E has a central role in the metabolism of TG-rich lipoproteins, and mediates the uptake of chylomicrons and VLDL by the liver
