Figure 7. Regions of ApoE Responsible for Fragment Translocation into the Cytosol, Mitochondrial Targeting, and Neurotoxicity.

Figure 7

Fragments containing the receptor-binding region (residues 136–150) and the lipid-binding region (residues 240–270) represent the minimal structure required for translocation, mitochondrial localization, and neurotoxicity (Mahley et al., 2006).
