MeSH Heading: Lipoproteins, LDL
Tree Number(s): D10.532.515; D12.776.521.550
Unique ID: D008077
RDF Unique Identifier: http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D008077
Annotation: /defic: consider also HYPOBETALIPOPROTEINEMIAS
Scope Note: A class of lipoproteins of small size (18-25 nm) and light (1.019-1.063 g/ml) particles with a core composed mainly of CHOLESTEROL ESTERS and smaller amounts of TRIGLYCERIDES. The surface monolayer consists mostly of PHOSPHOLIPIDS, a single copy of APOLIPOPROTEIN B-100, and free cholesterol molecules. The main LDL function is to transport cholesterol and cholesterol esters to extrahepatic tissues.
Entry Term(s): LDL(1); LDL(2); LDL-1; LDL-2; LDL1; LDL2; Low-Density Lipoprotein; Low-Density Lipoprotein 1; Low-Density Lipoprotein 2; Low-Density Lipoproteins; beta-Lipoprotein; beta-Lipoproteins
