Plasma lipoproteins: apolipoprotein structure and function.
Plasma lipoprotein metabolism is regulated and controlled by the specific apolipoprotein (apo-) constituents of the various lipoprotein classes. The major apolipoproteins include apoE, apoB, apoA-I, apoA-II, apoA-IV, apoC-I, apoC-II, and apoC-III. Specific apolipoproteins function in the regulation of lipoprotein metabolism through their involvement in the transport and redistribution of lipids...
متن کاملDifferential distribution of apolipoprotein E isoforms in human plasma lipoproteins.
The polymorphism of apolipoprotein E (apo E) accounts for a substantial amount of the genetic variance of cholesterol levels in man. The epsilon-2 allele and the epsilon-4 allele raises plasma and low density lipoprotein cholesterol levels as compared to the epsilon-3 allele. Whereas the lower cholesterol levels in carriers of the epsilon-2 allele can, at least in part, be attributed to the gro...
متن کاملComparison of four procedures for separating apolipoprotein A- and apolipoprotein B-containing lipoproteins in plasma.
Because lipoproteins containing apolipoprotein A (ApoA-I + ApoA-II) or apolipoprotein B (ApoB) seem to exert opposite effects as risk factors for coronary heart disease, we decided to determine the separability of these two major plasma lipoproteins by procedures originally designed to separate high-density from low- and very-low-density lipoproteins. The presumably ApoB-free lipoproteins isola...
متن کاملImmunochemical heterogeneity of human plasma apolipoprotein B. II. Expression of apolipoprotein B epitopes on native lipoproteins.
Eleven hybridoma antibodies specific for apoprotein B were used to examine the expression of apoprotein B epitopes on native plasma lipoproteins using fluid phase radioimmunoassays. Heterogeneity of apoprotein B in low density lipoprotein (LDL) of density 1.019-1.063 g/ml was indicated by maximum binding of radioiodinated LDL in the presence of excess antibody that ranged from 45 to 100%. Affin...
متن کاملStructure of apolipoprotein B-100 of human low density lipoproteins.
We have analyzed low density lipoproteins (LDL) apolipoprotein (apop) B structure by direct sequence analysis of LDL apo B-100 tryptic peptides. Native LDL were digested with trypsin, and the products were fractionated on a Sephadex G-50 column. The partially digested apo B-100 still associated with lipids was recovered in the void volume (designated trypsin-nonreleasable, TN, peptides). The re...
