Does APOE4's reduced lipid-binding directly modulate SREBP2-SCAP complex retention at the ER membrane?

PARTIALLY ADDRESSED

The theorist proposed APOE4 lipidation status affects SREBP2 processing, but the skeptic identified a critical mechanistic gap - no established pathway links secreted apolipoproteins to ER-based cholesterol sensing. This fundamental question affects all SREBP2-targeted therapeutic approaches.
