Product details:
Mouse Apolipoprotein E ELISA Kit ab215086 is a rapid single-wash 90-min Sandwich ELISA to measure Mouse Apolipoprotein E in citrate plasma, EDTA plasma, heparin plasma, serum. This SimpleStep sensitivity is 33.9 pg/mL.
How the assay works
Mouse Apolipoprotein E SimpleStep ELISA
employs capture antibodies conjugated to an affinity tag that is recognized by the monoclonal antibody used to coat our SimpleStep ELISA
plates. This approach to sandwich ELISA allows the formation of the antibody-analyte sandwich complex in a single step, significantly reducing assay time. See the SimpleStep ELISA
protocol summary in the image section for further details.
Assay Specificity
Our SimpleStep ELISA
kits use recombinant monoclonal antibodies rigorously validated to ensure the highest level of consistency and reproducibility, improved sensitivity and specificity and ease of scalability and security of supply.
Please refer to our protocol booklet for more details.

Apolipoprotein E is a glycoprotein synthesized mainly in the liver and the brain and is a component of most lipoproteins with the exception of low-density lipoproteins (LDL). Apolipoprotein E mediates the binding, internalization, and catabolism of lipoprotein particles. Additionally, it can serve as a ligand for the LDL (Apolipoprotein B/E) receptor and for the specific Apolipoprotein E receptor (chylomicron remnant) of hepatic tissues. Mouse Apolipoprotein E consists of an 18 amino acid (aa) signal peptide and a 293 aa mature chain. Human and rat Apolipoprotein E are 71% and 92% identical to mouse Apolipoprotein E, respectively.

Apolipoprotein E (ApoE) also known as apolipoprotein e or apoE is a major protein involved in lipid metabolism. It has an approximate molecular weight of 34 kDa. This protein is mainly produced in the liver and brain where it plays a critical role in transporting lipoproteins fat-soluble vitamins and cholesterol. ApoE exists in three common isoforms: ApoE2 ApoE3 and ApoE4 each having different impacts on lipid binding and metabolic processes. Scientists often use an ApoE ELISA kit to quantify this protein in various samples providing insights into its expression in health and disease.
Biological function summary
ApoE mediates the binding internalization and catabolism of these lipoprotein particles facilitating their interaction with specific cell-surface receptors such as the LDL receptor. This protein operates as part of a complex that includes various other apolipoproteins and lipid molecules. The study of mouse apoe using tools like a mouse apoe ELISA provides valuable data due to its similar physiological functions in lipid transport and metabolism.
Pathways
In the lipid metabolism pathway ApoE interacts with proteins such as the LDL receptor influencing the clearance of chylomicron remnants and VLDL from the bloodstream. In the cardiovascular disease pathway this protein impacts cholesterol levels and promotes plaques stabilization. ApoE's role in these pathways offers insights into its interaction with related proteins like apolipoprotein B and LDL receptor which are critical for maintaining lipid equilibrium.
In Alzheimer's disease ApoE4 isoform has a higher risk factor compared to ApoE3 and ApoE2 contributing to amyloid plaque formation through interactions with amyloid precursor protein. In cardiovascular diseases ApoE abnormalities influence atherosclerosis development with ApoE-deficient models showing increased susceptibility. ApoE's links to these diseases also connect it to other key proteins such as presenilin-1 in Alzheimer's disease and apolipoprotein B in cardiovascular disorders highlighting its extensive biological impact.
