anti-ApoE2 Antibody

ApoE2

Apolipoprotein E2, APOE 2, APOE-2, APOE2, Apolipoprotein E, AD2

ApoE belongs to a group of proteins that bind reversibly with lipoprotein and play an important role in lipid metabolism. In addition to facilitating solublization of lipids, these proteins help to maintain the structural integrity of lipoproteins, serve as ligands for lipoprotein receptors, and regulate the activity of enzymes involved in lipid metabolism. Significant quantities of ApoE are produced in liver and brain and to some extent in almost every organ. ApoE is an important constituent of all plasma lipoproteins. Defects in ApoE are a cause of hyperlipoproteinemia type III. ApoE exists in three major isoforms; E2, E3, and E4, which differ from one another by a single amino-acid substitution. Compared with E3 and E4, E2 exhibits the lowest receptor binding affinity. E2 allele carriers had significantly lower levels of total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, as well as increased ApoE levels. ApoE2 is a 34.3 kDa protein containing 300 amino acid residues.

Rabbit

Polyclonal

Rabbit IgG

Human

E. coli expressed recombinant human ApoE2

0.5 mg/ml

Liquid

30 µg (0.5 mg/ml) affinity purified rabbit anti- human ApoE2 polyclonal antibody in phosphate buffered saline (PBS), pH 7.2, containing 30% glycerol and 0.01% thimerosal.

Affinity purified

Western blot

Western blot analysis (0.5-4 µg/ml). However, the optimal conditions should be determined individually. Recombinant human ApoE2 (Cat. # 4760-50) can be used as a positive control.

Shelf time: 12 months in temp.: -20 deg.C

gel pack

The antibody solution should be gently mixed before use.

This antibody needs to be stored at + 4°C in a fridge short term in a concentrated dilution. Freeze thaw will destroy a percentage in every cycle and should be avoided.

If you buy Antibodies supplied by Biovision they should be stored frozen at - 24°C for long term storage and for short term at + 5°C.
