[Molecular biology of apolipoproteins in genesis of hyperlipidemias and atherosclerosis]. 1993

The application of cell and molecular biology techniques has provided new information on the structure and function of the apolipoproteins, enzymes and receptors that mediate lipoprotein transport. The identification of human mutations at the gene level has established the molecular basis for several clinically important dialipoproteinemias and atherosclerosis.

D001053 Apolipoproteins Protein components on the surface of LIPOPROTEINS. They form a layer surrounding the hydrophobic lipid core. There are several classes of apolipoproteins with each playing a different role in lipid transport and LIPID METABOLISM. These proteins are synthesized mainly in the LIVER and the INTESTINES. Apolipoprotein
