TREM2 Binds to Apolipoproteins, Including APOE and CLU/APOJ, and Thereby Facilitates Uptake of Amyloid-Beta by Microglia.

Yeh FL, Wang Y, Tom I, Gonzalez LC, Sheng M

Genetic variants of TREM2, a protein expressed selectively by microglia in the brain, are associated with Alzheimer's disease (AD). Starting from an unbiased protein microarray screen, we identified a set of lipoprotein particles (including LDL) and apolipoproteins (including CLU/APOJ and APOE) as ligands of TREM2. Binding of these ligands by TREM2 was abolished or reduced by disease-associated mutations. Overexpression of wild-type ... [more]
