Identification of an Italian Kindred with a Variant Apolipoprotein E (E1) Associated with Type III Hyperlipoproteinemia

  • Chapter
Human Apolipoprotein Mutants 2

Abstract

Human apolipoprotein E (apo E) is a 299 amino acid polypeptide associated with circulating lipoproteins. During the last decade apo E has been extensively investigated. The complete amino acid sequence has been determined1 and more recently also the gene organization2,3,4, cDNA and mRNA sequences have been described5, showing important similarities with other apolipoproteins.
