Lipids (Apolipoproteins) Flashcards
(37 cards)
Protein portion of lipoprotein
Apolipoprotein
Apo A-I is found in
HDL
Activates lecithin-cholesterol acyltransferase (LCAT)
Apolipoprotein A-I
Synthesized jn the liver and intestines
Apo A-I
Apo A-II is found in
HDL
Inhibits lipoproteins and hepatic lipases
Increases plasma triglyceride
Apo A-II
Apo A-IV is found in
HDL
CM
free in plasma
Cofactor for lecithin-cholesterol acyltransferase
Increases during fat absorption
HDL synthesis
Apo A-IV
Apo B-100 is found in
VLDL
LDL
Very large structural protein
Synthesized in liver with endogenous lipids
Apo B-100
Apo B-48 is seen in
CM
Synthesized in the intestines ONLY
Apo B-48
Apo C-I is found in
CM
VLDL
Inhibits hepatic uptake of VLDL and cholesterol ester transfer protein
Apo C-I
Apo C-II is found in
CM
VLDL
activates lipoprotein lipase
deficiency causes reduced clearance of triglyceride-rich lipoproteins
Apo C-II
Apo C-III is found in
VLDL
HDL
Inhibits lipolysis and reduces clearance of triglyceride-rich lipoprotein
Apo C-III
Apo D is found in
HDL
Activates lecithin-cholesterol acyltransferase
Apo D and Apo A-I
Esterifies cholesterol in plasma
Lecithin-cholesterol acyltransferase
Apo E is found in
CM
HDL
IDL intermediate density lipoprotein
HDL
Remnants
Targets CM and VLDL remnants to hepatic receptor
Binds to cell surface LDL receptors and proteoglycans
Apo E
What subtypes of Apo E are associated with higher risk of coronary heart disease and alzheimer’s disease
E-2
E-3
E-4
