Description

Apolipoprotein E plays a central role in lipid metabolism and cholesterol transport, serving as a ligand for receptors that mediate the clearance of lipoprotein particles from circulation. Beyond its metabolic functions, APOE has garnered significant attention in neuroscience research due to its genetic variants being strongly associated with Alzheimer's disease risk and other neurodegenerative conditions. Understanding APOE expression patterns and localization remains essential for researchers investigating cardiovascular disease, neurodegeneration, and lipid disorders.

This recombinant monoclonal antibody, clone 14C2, offers the consistency and reliability that demanding research applications require. Produced using recombinant technology with a sequence-defined approach, this antibody eliminates the lot-to-lot variability that can compromise experimental reproducibility. The rabbit host origin and monoclonal nature ensure high specificity for human APOE, while affinity chromatography purification delivers a clean reagent suitable for sensitive detection methods.

Validation studies demonstrate robust performance across multiple experimental platforms. Western blot analysis of HepG2 whole cell lysate reveals a clean band at the predicted 36 kDa molecular weight, confirming accurate target recognition in this hepatocyte-derived cell line known for endogenous APOE expression. Immunohistochemistry on paraffin-embedded human liver cancer tissue shows reliable staining using standard citrate buffer antigen retrieval, while immunofluorescence studies in HepG2 cells successfully visualize intracellular APOE distribution. Flow cytometry validation further confirms utility for quantitative single-cell analysis of APOE expression levels.

This antibody supports researchers investigating lipid metabolism disorders, hepatic lipoprotein biology, and the expanding field of APOE-related neurodegeneration research, providing a versatile tool adaptable to diverse experimental workflows from tissue sections to cell-based assays.

Target Background

Function

APOE is an apolipoprotein, a protein associating with lipid particles, that mainly functions in lipoprotein-mediated lipid transport between organs via the plasma and interstitial fluids. APOE is a core component of plasma lipoproteins and is involved in their production, conversion and clearance. Apoliproteins are amphipathic molecules that interact both with lipids of the lipoprotein particle core and the aqueous environment of the plasma. As such, APOE associates with chylomicrons, chylomicron remnants, very low density lipoproteins (VLDL) and intermediate density lipoproteins (IDL) but shows a preferential binding to high-density lipoproteins (HDL). It also binds a wide range of cellular receptors including the LDL receptor/LDLR, the LDL receptor-related proteins LRP1, LRP2 and LRP8 and the very low-density lipoprotein receptor/VLDLR that mediate the cellular uptake of the APOE-containing lipoprotein particles. Finally, APOE has also a heparin-binding activity and binds heparan-sulfate proteoglycans on the surface of cells, a property that supports the capture and the receptor-mediated uptake of APOE-containing lipoproteins by cells. A main function of APOE is to mediate lipoprotein clearance through the uptake of chylomicrons, VLDLs, and HDLs by hepatocytes. APOE is also involved in the biosynthesis by the liver of VLDLs as well as their uptake by peripheral tissues ensuring the delivery of triglycerides and energy storage in muscle, heart and adipose tissues. By participating in the lipoprotein-mediated distribution of lipids among tissues, APOE plays a critical role in plasma and tissues lipid homeostasis. APOE is also involved in two steps of reverse cholesterol transport, the HDLs-mediated transport of cholesterol from peripheral tissues to the liver, and thereby plays an important role in cholesterol homeostasis. First, it is functionally associated with ABCA1 in the biogenesis of HDLs in tissues. Second, it is enriched in circulating HDLs and mediates their uptake by hepatocytes. APOE also plays an important role in lipid transport in the central nervous system, regulating neuron survival and sprouting. APOE is also involved in innate and adaptive immune responses, controlling for instance the survival of myeloid-derived suppressor cells. APOE, may also play a role in transcription regulation through a receptor-dependent and cholesterol-independent mechanism, that activates MAP3K12 and a non-canonical MAPK signal transduction pathway that results in enhanced AP-1-mediated transcription of APP.; (Microbial infection) Through its interaction with HCV envelope glycoprotein E2, participates in the attachment of HCV to HSPGs and other receptors (LDLr, VLDLr, and SR-B1) on the cell surface and to the assembly, maturation and infectivity of HCV viral particles. This interaction is probably promoted via the up-regulation of cellular autophagy by the virus.
