MeSH Heading: Apolipoprotein E3
Tree Number(s): D10.532.091.500.500; D12.776.070.400.500.500; D12.776.521.120.500.500
Unique ID: D053318
RDF Unique Identifier: http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D053318
Scope Note: A 34-kDa glycosylated protein. A major and most common isoform of apolipoprotein E. Therefore, it is also known as apolipoprotein E (ApoE). In human, Apo E3 is a 299-amino acid protein with a cysteine at the 112 and an arginine at the 158 position. It is involved with the transport of TRIGLYCERIDES; PHOSPHOLIPIDS; CHOLESTEROL; and CHOLESTERYL ESTERS in and out of the cells.
