[Identification of the mink alpha2-lipoprotein Lpm-allotypes by the method of preparatory ultracentrifugation]. 1977

O K Baranov, and V I Ermolaev, and M A Savina

The density class accessory of 8 mink alpha2-lipoprotein allotypes are determined by means of preparative ultracentrifugation. It is found that Lpm1, Lpm2, Lpm2, Lpm3, Lpm4, Lpm5, Lpm7 and Lpm8 are determinants of lipoproteins with density exceeding 1.210, i.e. they are VHDL. The allotypic marker 6, which has been earlier assigned by other criteria to Lpm group, belongs to mink lipoprotein, which distributes during ultracentrifugation at the region of low and, partially, high density.

D008075	Lipoproteins, HDL	A class of lipoproteins of small size (4-13 nm) and dense (greater than 1.063 g/ml) particles. HDL lipoproteins, synthesized in the liver without a lipid core, accumulate cholesterol esters from peripheral tissues and transport them to the liver for re-utilization or elimination from the body (the reverse cholesterol transport). Their major protein component is APOLIPOPROTEIN A-I. HDL also shuttle APOLIPOPROTEINS C and APOLIPOPROTEINS E to and from triglyceride-rich lipoproteins during their catabolism. HDL plasma level has been inversely correlated with the risk of cardiovascular diseases.
