Intracellular metabolism of amyloid β-protein precursor (APP) is important for the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Alcadeins (Alcα, Alcβ, and Alcγ) are neural membrane proteins similar to APP in their localization, metabolism, and cellular function. Isoform ε4 of apolipoprotein E (ApoE) is a major risk factor for AD. We found that ApoE expression attenuated intracellular trafficking of APP and Alcβ, resulting in metabolic stabilization of both proteins. By contrast, Alcα intracellular proteolysis was facilitated by ApoE expression, which was not due to an increase in the primary cleavage of Alcα. This difference may result from binding of ApoE to membrane proteins.

D000818	Animals	Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.

D001057	Apolipoproteins E	A class of protein components which can be found in several lipoproteins including HIGH-DENSITY LIPOPROTEINS; VERY-LOW-DENSITY LIPOPROTEINS; and CHYLOMICRONS. Synthesized in most organs, Apo E is important in the global transport of lipids and cholesterol throughout the body. Apo E is also a ligand for LDL receptors (RECEPTORS, LDL) that mediates the binding, internalization, and catabolism of lipoprotein particles in cells. There are several allelic isoforms (such as E2, E3, and E4). Deficiency or defects in Apo E are causes of HYPERLIPOPROTEINEMIA TYPE III.
