unusual facts about apolipoprotein E


APOE

Apolipoprotein E, a main apoprotein of the chylomicron, also studied for its involvement in Alzheimer's Disease risk.


Chylomicron

The HDL donates apolipoprotein C-II (APOC2) and apolipoprotein E (APOE) to the nascent chylomicron and, thus, converts it to a mature chylomicron (often referred to simply as "chylomicron").
