Abstract
Apolipoprotein E (apoE) is a major constituent of chylomicron- and VLDL-remnants. It plays a major role in the clearance of these lipoproteins as it serves as a ligand for recognition by hepatic lipoprotein receptors. With isoelectric focusing (IEF) apoE can be separated into three commonly occuring isoforms e.g. E2, E3 and E4.
