Apolipoprotein composition as the basis for classifying plasma lipoproteins. Characterization of ApoA-and ApoB-containing lipoprotein families
P Alaupovic - Progress in lipid research, 1991 - Elsevier
Soluble plasma lipoproteins constitute a unique class of conjugated proteins, the main
purpose of which is to transport water-insoluble neutral lipids and phospholipids from their
sites of formation to their sites of utilization either as a source of energy or as cellular
building components. Machebouef and his coworker were the first to establish the constancy
of lipid-protein composition and the presence of specific lipid-binding proteins as the
essential chemical criteria for defining individual plasma lipoproteins) ss However, the first …
