ApoB

ApoB-containing lipoproteins are particles that transport lipids in the bloodstream. The main classes are:

  1. Chylomicrons: Largest particles, rich in triglycerides, formed in intestinal cells.
  2. Very Low-Density Lipoproteins (VLDL): Produced by the liver, carry endogenous triglycerides.
  3. Intermediate-Density Lipoproteins (IDL): Formed from VLDL, intermediate between VLDL and LDL.
  4. Low-Density Lipoproteins (LDL): Derived from VLDL and IDL, low-density lipoproteins are the main carriers of cholesterol to tissues.
  5. Lipoprotein(a): Similar to LDL but contains an additional protein, apo(a).

These particles vary in size, density, and lipid composition, with ApoB serving as the primary structural protein. They play crucial roles in lipid metabolism and, other than chylomicrons, are associated with cardiovascular disease risk.
