Lipoproteins are macromolecular complexes of lipids and proteins which originate mainly
from the liver and intestine, and are involved in the transport and redistribution of lipids in the …

Lipoproteins are macromolecular complexes of lipids and proteins that are synthesized
mainly by the liver and intestine and catabolized by hepatic and extrahepatic tissues. Their …

Lipoproteins are complexes of lipids and proteins that carry cholesterol in the bloodstream.
They are spherical particles with a coat consisting principally of amphiphilic phospho-lipids …

Plasma lipoproteins are water-soluble macromolecules composed of lipids and one or more
specific proteins called apolipoproteins (apos). Human apolipoproteins have distinct …

Lipoproteins are circulating complexes of lipids and proteins, the transport and metabolism
of which are directly controlled by apolipoproteins AI, A-II, A-IV, B, CI, C-II, C-III, D, E, and (a); …

Apolipoproteins are important structural constituents of lipoprotein particles and have been
shown to participate in lipoprotein synthesis, secretion, proces sing, and catabolism. These …

Family studies have revealed that individual variations in the levels and structures of
lipoproteins in the blood are due in large part to hereditary influences. Since such …

Publisher Summary This chapter discusses the molecular biology of human apolipoproteins
B and E and associated diseases of lipoprotein metabolism. The protein components of …

Certain proteins (called apolipoproteins B and E) on the surface of lipoprotein particles are
responsible for mediating the binding of cholesterol-rich particles to specific lipoprotein …

Publisher Summary The term apolipoprotein was initially coined by John Oncley to refer to
the protein constituents of plasma lipoproteins. Plasma apolipoproteins are of interest …
