Chylomicron | HDL | LDL | IDL | VLDL | Lp(a) A polyunsaturated triglyceride. ... A lipoprotein is a biochemical assembly that contains both proteins and lipids. ... Chylomicrons are large lipoprotein particles (having a diameter of 75 to 1,200nm) that are created by the absorptive cells of the small intestine. ... High-density lipoproteins (HDL) form a class of lipoproteins, varying somewhat in their size (8–11 nm in diameter), that carry cholesterol from the bodys tissues to the liver. ... Low-density lipoprotein (LDL) is a class of lipoprotein particles that varies in size (18-25 nm in diameter) and contents (while carrying fatty acid molecules in blood and around the body). ... Intermediate density lipoproteins are a class of lipoproteins formed from the degradation of very low density lipoproteins, constituted essentially of triacylglycerols and cholesterol esters. ... Very Low Density Lipoprotein (VLDL) is a lipoprotein subclass. ... Lipoprotein(a) (also called LP(a) and Lp-a) is a lipoprotein subclass. ...

Apolipoproteins: APOA1 | APOA2 | APOB | APOC1 | APOC2 | APOC3 | APOC4 | APOD | APOE | APOH To meet Wikipedias quality standards, this article or section may require cleanup. ... Apolipoprotein A1 is an apolipoprotein. ... Apolipoprotein A2 is an apolipoprotein. ... Apolipoprotein B (APOB) is the primary apolipoprotein of low density lipoproteins (LDL or bad cholesterol), and is responsible for carrying cholesterol to tissues. ... Apolipoprotein C1 is a lipoprotein with a length of 57 amino acids. ... Apolipoprotein C2 is a lipoprotein responsible for the activation of low density lipoprotein (LDL) in capillaries and thus begins the catabolism of the chylomicrons/VLDL. Categories: | ... Apolipoprotein C3 is an apolipoprotein. ... Apolipoprotein E (APOE), a main apoprotein of the chylomicron, binds to a specific receptor on liver cells and peripheral cells. ...
