apoE ELISA kits
We make ELISA kits for apoE in 2 species. This page explains how they differ, so you can pick the one your experiment needs.
What differs between these kits
Which species they are for
Available for Human and Mouse. The species decides which antibody pair we supply, so it is the first thing to choose. Some kits are also validated on closely related species, so if you work in one we do not list here, check the reactivity on the product page.
About apoE
Apolipoprotein E (apoE) is a 34 kD glycoprotein involved in lipid transport, lipoprotein metabolism, and cellular signaling. It is present in plasma lipoprotein particles such as chylomicrons, VLDL, and HDL. ApoE is also present in large amounts at sites of neurological damage and appears to be involved in the recycling of apoptotic remnants and amyloidal aggregates. ApoE is mainly produced in the liver and by macrophages, but also by other cell types such as smooth muscle cells or neuronal cells. In humans, apoE exists in three isoforms, apoE2, apoE3, and apoE4. Of these, apoE4 is associated with Alzheimer’s disease. A normal concentration of apoE in human plasma is approximately 30-40 µg/ml. The concentration of ApoE in inbred mouse plasma can vary between 15-150 µg/ml.
