Lipoprotein

The role of lipoprotein particles is to transport fat molecules, such as triacylglycerols, phospholipids, and cholesterol within the extracellular water of the body to all the cells and tissues of the body.

There are 2 majar classess circulating lipoproteins, each with own characteristic protein and lipid composition. They are chylomicrons, very low-density lipoproteins (VLDL), low-density lipoproteins (LDL), and high-density

This enzyme is found primarily on the surface of cells that line tiny blood within muscles and in fatty tissue. Lipoprotein lipase plays a role in breaking down of fat in the form of triglycerides, which are carrie from various organs to the blood by molecules called lipoproteins.
