<prompt> Apoproteins present in LDLB-48B-100C-IC-III  <response>: LOW DENSITY LIPOPROTEINS LDL - LDL transpos cholesterol from liver to peripheral tissues. The only apoprotein present in LDL is apo B100. Most of the LDL paicles are derived from VLDL, but a small pa is directly released from liver. The half-life of LDL in blood is about 2 days. Function of LDL - About 75 of the plasma cholesterol is incorporated into the LDL paicles. LDL transpos cholesterol from liver to the peripheral tissues. The cholesterol thus liberated in the cell has three major fates: It is used for the synthesis of other steroids like steroid hormones. Cholesterol may be incorporated into the membranes. Cholesterol may be esterified to a MUFA by acyl cholesterol acyl transferase ACAT for storage. The cellular content of cholesterol regulates fuher endogenous synthesis of cholesterol by regulating HMG CoA reductase. REF: DM VASUDEVAN TEXTBOOK OF BIOCHEMISTRY, SIXTH EDITION, PG.NO.,153,154.
