The protein that was found in the first DNA sequence is Apolipoprotein E. The name Apolipoprotein is referred to APOE (APOE). Apolipoprotein E is inside the body and combines with fats to form lipoproteins (APOE). Lipoproteins travel through the blood stream caring cholesterol and other fats (APOE). The fats, cholesterol, and other minerals in the body need to be regulated to prevent a disease occurring from Apolipoprotein E. The protein Apolipoprotein E can cause Alzheimer’s disease. Alzheimer’s disease usually occurs in older people, causing them to become very forgetful, and messes with their brain (What Is Alzheimer's ?). The APOE gene is usually passed onto offspring from the parent, for the child to occur Alzheimer’s disease (APOE).
