Apo-E is a class of apolipoprotein primarily synthesized in the liver, but is also found in other tissues such as brain, kidneys, and spleen. Apo-E is a protein component of serum chylomicron and lipoprotein particles, playing essential roles in cholesterol transportation, homeostasis, and metabolism. The expression of Apo-E is induced by cholesterol-rich diets and hyperlipoproteinemia. In the central nervous system, Apo-E is produced by astrocytes and microglia. The Apo-E-containing lipoprotein particles play important functions in brain injury repair, neurogenesis, and synaptic plasticity. Apo-E has been found to be involved in the regulation of amyloid-β aggregation and clearance. Genetic polymorphisms of Apo-E are associated with neuron degenerative disorders including Alzheimer's disease.
