| Comments |
"Each class of lipoprotein has a specific function, determined
by its point of synthesis, lipid composition, and
apolipoprotein content. At least nine different apolipoproteins
are found in the lipoproteins of human plasma
(Table 21–3), distinguishable by their size, their reactions
with specific antibodies, and their characteristic
distribution in the lipoprotein classes. These protein
components act as signals, targeting lipoproteins to specific
tissues or activating enzymes that act on the
lipoproteins." |
