MeSH Heading: Lipoproteins
Tree Number(s): D10.532; D12.776.521
Unique ID: D008074
RDF Unique Identifier: http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D008074
Annotation: general or unspecified; prefer specifics; /‌blood: consider also HYPERLIPOPROTEINEMIA; /‌defic: consider also HYPOLIPOPROTEINEMIAS & specifics; do not confuse with PROTEOLIPIDS or LIPID-LINKED PROTEINS
Scope Note: Lipid-protein complexes involved in the transportation and metabolism of lipids in the body. They are spherical particles consisting of a hydrophobic core of TRIGLYCERIDES and CHOLESTEROL ESTERS surrounded by a layer of hydrophilic free CHOLESTEROL; PHOSPHOLIPIDS; and APOLIPOPROTEINS. Lipoproteins are classified by their varying buoyant density and sizes.
Entry Term(s): Circulating Lipoproteins; Lipoprotein
