[HTML][HTML] Remodeling of apolipoprotein E-containing spherical reconstituted high density lipoproteins by phospholipid transfer protein

N Settasatian, PJ Barter, KA Rye - Journal of lipid research, 2008 - ASBMB
Phospholipid transfer protein (PLTP) transfers phospholipids between HDL and other
lipoproteins in plasma. It also remodels spherical, apolipoprotein AI (apoA-I)-containing HDL
into large and small particles in a process involving the dissociation of lipid-free/lipid-poor
apoA-I. ApoE is another apolipoprotein that is mostly associated with large, spherical HDL
that do not contain apoA-I. Three isoforms of apoE have been identified in human plasma:
apoE2, apoE3, and apoE4. This study investigates the remodeling of spherical apoE …
