Interaction Information:

Comment The three human ApoE isoforms increased DLK levels with the same differential potency as for the stimulation of Abeta synthesis and ERK1/2 phosphorylation (ApoE4>ApoE3>ApoE2). ApoE binding to ApoE receptors activates dual leucine-zipper kinase (DLK), a MAP-kinase kinase kinase that then activates MKK7 and ERK1/2 MAP kinases. Activated ERK1/2 induces cFos phosphorylation, stimulating the transcription factor AP-1, which in turn enhances transcription of amyloid-beta precursor protein (APP) and thereby increases amyloid-beta levels. This molecular mechanism also regulates APP transcription in mice in vivo.
