About This Section Entrez Gene summary for APOE : Chylomicron remnants and very low density lipoprotein (VLDL) remnants are rapidly removed from the circulation by receptor-mediated endocytosis in the liver. Apolipoprotein E, a main apoprotein of the chylomicron, binds to a specific receptor on liver cells and peripheral cells. ApoE is essential for the normal catabolism of triglyceride-rich lipoprotein constituents. The APOE gene is mapped to chromosome 19 in a cluster with APOC1 and APOC2. Defects in apolipoprotein E 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. (provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008) UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot: APOE_HUMAN, P02649 Function : Mediates the binding, internalization, and catabolism of lipoprotein particles. It can serve as a ligand forthe LDL (apo B/E) receptor and for the specific apo-E receptor (chylomicron remnant) of hepatic tissues Gene Wiki entry for APOE (Apolipoprotein E)

The corresponding three majorisoforms, E2, E3, and E4, are recognized according to their relative position after isoelectric focusing. Different mutations causing the same migration pattern after isoelectric focusing define different isoform subtypes. The most common isoform is E3 and is present in 40-90% of the population. Common APOE variants influence lipoprotein metabolism in healthy individuals

APOE for disorders About GeneDecksing OMIM gene information: 107741 OMIM disorders : 269600 104310 603075 611771 UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot: APOE_HUMAN, P02649
Defects in APOE are a cause of hyperlipoproteinemia type 3 (HLPP3) [MIM:107741]; also known as familial dysbetalipoproteinemia. Individuals with HLPP3 are clinically characterized by xanthomas, yellowish lipid deposits in the palmar crease, or less specific on tendons and on elbows. The disorder rarely manifests before the third decade in men. In women, it is usually expressed only after the menopause. The vast majority of the patients are homozygous for APOE*2 alleles. More severe cases of HLPP3 have also been observed in individuals heterozygous for rare APOE variants. The influence of APOE on lipid levels is often suggested to have major implications for the risk of coronary artery disease (CAD). Individuals carrying the common APOE*4 variant are at higher risk of CAD Genetic variations in APOE are associated with Alzheimer disease type 2 (AD2) [MIM:104310]. It is a late-onset neurodegenerative disorder characterized by progressive dementia, loss of cognitive abilities, and deposition of fibrillar amyloid proteins as intraneuronal neurofibrillary tangles, extracellular amyloid plaques and vascular amyloid deposits. The major constituent of these plaques is the neurotoxic amyloid-beta-APP 40-42 peptide (s), derived proteolytically from the transmembrane precursor protein APP by sequential secretase processing. The cytotoxic C-terminal fragments (CTFs) and the caspase-cleaved products such as C31 derived from APP, are also implicated in neuronal death. Note=The APOE*4 allele is genetically associated with the common late onset familial and sporadic forms of Alzheimer disease. Risk for AD increased from 20% to 90% and mean age at onset decreased from 84 to 68 years with increasing number of APOE*4 alleles in 42 families with late onset AD. Thus APOE*4 gene dose is a major risk factor for late onset AD and, in these families, homozygosity for APOE*4 was virtually sufficient to cause AD by age 80. The mechanism by which APOE*4 participates in pathogenesis is not known Defects in APOE are a cause of sea-blue histiocyte disease (SBHD) [MIM:269600]; also known as sea-blue histiocytosis. This disorder is characterized by splenomegaly, mild thrombocytopenia and, in the bone marrow, numerous histiocytes containing cytoplasmic granules which stain bright blue with the usual hematologic stains. The syndrome is the consequence of an inherited metabolic defect analogous to Gaucher disease and other sphingolipidoses Defects in APOE are a cause of lipoprotein glomerulopathy (LPG) [MIM:611771]. LPG is an uncommon kidney disease characterized by proteinuria, progressive kidney failure, and distinctive lipoprotein thrombi in glomerular capillaries. It mainly affects people of Japanese and Chinese origin. The disorder has rarely been described in Caucasians Defects in APOE are a cause of familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) [MIM:143890]. FH is a condition characterized by elevated circulating cholesterol contained in either low-density lipoproteins alone or also in very-low-density lipoproteins 20/288 diseases for APOE (see all 288 ): About MalaCards hyperlipoproteinemia proximal spinal muscular atrophy smith-lemli-opitz syndrome defective apolipoprotein b-100 alzheimer's disease familial creutzfeldt-jakob disease angle-closure glaucoma cerebral amyloid angiopathy spinal cord injury hyperlipoproteinemia type iii spinal muscular atrophy open-angle glaucoma variant creutzfeldt-jakob disease persistent vegetative state primary angle-closure glaucoma hyperlipoproteinemia type v inclusion body myositis finnish type amyloidosis wernicke-korsakoff syndrome normal pressure hydrocephalus 19 diseases from the University of Copenhagen DISEASES database for APOE :Alzheimer's disease Atherosclerosis Vascular dementia Coronary heart disease Amyloidosis Cerebrovascular accident Diabetes mellitus Familial hyperlipidemia Aortic disease Lewy body dementia Hypertension Myocardial infarction Down syndrome Frontotemporal dementia Abdominal aortic aneurysm Parkinson's disease Kidney disease Progressive supranuclear palsy Age related macular degeneration 10/94 Novoseek disease relationships for APOE gene (see all 94 ) About this table
