Definition of lipoprotein in English:
lipoprotein
nounˈlʌɪpə(ʊ)ˌprəʊtiːnˈlɪpə(ʊ)ˌprəʊtiːnˈlɪpəˌproʊtin
Biochemistry Any of a group of soluble proteins that combine with and transport fat or other lipids in the blood plasma.
Example sentencesExamples
- The in vitro and in vivo experiments showed that free cholesterol and phospholipids were transferred from lipid emulsion to plasma lipoproteins independently from each other.
- Also shown are the key enzymes, receptors, transfer proteins, and lipoproteins participating in cholesterol synthesis, transport, and degradation.
- Too much blood sugar may also alter the protein in low-density lipoproteins, or LDL.
- An important aspect in this approach is that amphiphile transfer between the protein and the lipoproteins should not be a second order process involving a lipoprotein-protein complex as intermediate.
- It seems that a fundamental similarity and parallel exists between the aggregation of lipoproteins and amyloid proteins.
