APOE

The protein encoded by this gene is a major apoprotein of the chylomicron. It binds to a specific liver and peripheral cell receptor, and is essential for the normal catabolism of triglyceride-rich lipoprotein constituents. This gene maps to chromosome 19 in a cluster with the related apolipoprotein C1 and C2 genes. Mutations in this gene result in familial dysbetalipoproteinemia, or type III hyperlipoproteinemia (HLP III), in which increased plasma cholesterol and triglycerides are the consequence of impaired clearance of chylomicron and VLDL remnants.
Protein class

Cancer-related genes, Candidate cardiovascular disease genes, Disease related genes, Human disease related genes, Metabolic proteins, Plasma proteins

Predicted location

Secreted

Single cell type specificity

Cell type enhanced (Muller glia cells, Hepatocytes, Proximal tubular cells, Theca cells, Hofbauer cells, Peritubular cells)

Immune cell specificity

Not detected in immune cells

Cell line specificity

Cell line enhanced (ASC diff, CACO-2, Hep G2, HSkMC, SK-MEL-30)

Interaction

Homotetramer (PubMed:8340399). May interact with ABCA1; functionally associated with ABCA1 in the biogenesis of HDLs (PubMed:14754908). May interact with APP/A4 amyloid-beta peptide; the interaction is extremely stable in vitro but its physiological significance is unclear (PubMed:8367470, PubMed:23620513). May interact with MAPT (PubMed:7972031). May interact with MAP2 (PubMed:7891887). In the cerebrospinal fluid, interacts with secreted SORL1 (PubMed:30448281). (Microbial infection) Interacts with hepatitis C virus (HCV) envelope glycoprotein E2; this interaction is required for HCV infectivity and production.

Molecular function
