lipoprotein
(noun)
Any of a large group of complexes of protein and lipid with many biochemical functions.
Examples of lipoprotein in the following topics:
-
Gram-Negative Outer Membrane
- The peptidoglycan layer is non-covalently anchored to lipoprotein molecules called Braun's lipoproteins through their hydrophobic head.
-
Double-Stranded DNA Viruses: Pox Viruses
- The most abundant and simplest infectious form of the poxvirus particle, the mature virion (MV), consists of the viral DNA genome encased in a proteinaceous core and an outer lipoprotein membrane with approximately 60 and 25 associated viral proteins, respectively.
-
Metabolomics
- Macromolecules such as lipoproteins and albumin are reliably detected in NMR-based metabolomics studies of blood plasma.
-
Toll-Like Receptors
- Well-conserved features in pathogens include bacterial cell-surface lipopolysaccharides (LPS), lipoproteins, lipopeptides, and lipoarabinomannan; proteins such as flagellin from bacterial flagella; double-stranded RNA of viruses; or the unmethylated CpG islands of bacterial and viral DNA; and certain other RNA and DNA.
-
Lipid Biosynthesis
- The fatty acids may be subsequently converted to triglycerides that are packaged in lipoproteins and secreted from the liver.
