APO-E Antibody is affinity chromatography purified via peptide column.
Immunogen
APO-E antibody was raised against a 19 amino acid peptide near the carboxy terminus of human APO-E. The immunogen is located within amino acids 220 - 270 of APO-E.
APO-E antibody can be used for detection of APO-E by Western blot at 1 - 2 μ,g/mL. Antibody can also be used for immunohistochemistry starting at 5 μ,g/mL. For immunofluorescence start at 20 μ,g/mL.
Antibody validated: Western Blot in human samples, Immunohistochemistry in human and mouse samples and Immunofluorescence in mouse samples. All other applications and species not yet tested.

APO-E Antibody: Chylomicron remnants and very low density lipoprotein (VLDL) remnants are rapidly removed from the circulation by receptor-mediated endocytosis in the liver. Apolipoprotein E (APO-E), a main apoprotein of the chylomicron, binds to a specific receptor on liver cells and peripheral cells and is essential for the normal catabolism of triglyceride-rich lipoprotein constituents. Defects in APO-E result in familial dysbetalipoproteinemia, or type III hyperlipoproteinemia (HLP III), in which increased plasma cholesterol and triglycerides are the consequence of impaired clearance of chylomicron and VLDL remnants.
