Extracellular Proteolysis of Apolipoprotein E (apoE) by Secreted Serine Neuronal Protease
Under normal conditions, brain apolipoprotein E (apoE) is secreted and lipidated by astrocytes, then taken up by neurons via receptor mediated endocytosis. Free apoE is either degraded in intraneuronal lysosomal compartments or released. Here we identified a novel way by which apoE undergoes proteol...
