title: Inhibition of lipoprotein lipase by the receptor-binding domain of apolipoprotein E.
abstract: A synthetic peptide (residues 139-153) corresponding to the receptor-binding domain of apolipoprotein E (ApoE) was tested for lipoprotein lipase (LPL) inhibitory properties. In systems using both natural and synthetic substrates, inhibition of LPL was observed. Using the synthetic substrate, 50% inhibition was observed at 50 microM while high concentrations completely inhibited LPL activity. These studies suggest an additional functional role for the receptor-binding domain of ApoE-modulation of LPL activity.
