Apolipoprotein E/APOE Protein, Mouse (HEK293, His)

Apolipoprotein E/APOE is a key molecule linking lipid metabolism and neurological function. Apolipoprotein E/APOE gene polymorphisms are closely associated with diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease and atherosclerosis by influencing protein structure and function. Apolipoprotein E/APOE Protein, Mouse (HEK293, His) is a recombinant APOE protein expressed in HEK293 cells, with a C-6*His tag^[1][2][3].

Apolipoprotein E/APOE is a member of the soluble apolipoprotein family, primarily synthesized in the liver and brain. Liver-derived Apolipoprotein E/APOE participates in peripheral lipid metabolism, while brain-derived Apolipoprotein E/APOE, produced by astrocytes, is involved in neuronal repair and synaptic plasticity. Apolipoprotein E/APOE plays a critical role in lipid transport within both plasma and the central nervous system by interacting with the low-density lipoprotein receptor family. The three common Apolipoprotein E/APOE isoforms (APOE2, APOE3, APOE4), differing in amino acids at positions 112 and 158, have distinct effects on the risk of diseases such as atherosclerosis and Alzheimer’s disease. Due to domain interactions and lower stability, APOE4 is a major genetic risk factor for Alzheimer’s disease, while APOE2 is associated with type III hyperlipoproteinemia due to weak receptor binding^[1][2][3].

  Greater than 90% as determined by reducing SDS-PAGE.

Lyophilized powder

Lyophilized from a 0.22 μm filtered solution of 20 mM PB, 150 mM NaCl, pH 7.4 or PBS, pH 7.4, 8% trehalose.

<1 EU/μg, determined by LAL method.

It is not recommended to reconstitute to a concentration less than 100 μg/mL in ddH₂O. For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% BSA, 5% HSA, 10% FBS or 5% Trehalose).

Stored at -20°C for 2 years from date of receipt. After reconstitution, it is stable at 4°C for 1 week or -20°C for longer (with carrier protein). It is recommended to freeze aliquots at -20°C or -80°C for extended storage.

Room temperature in continental US; may vary elsewhere.
