Biochemistry Flashcards
1
Q
From the most dense to the least dense of lipoprotein
A
-Chylomicrons
-VLDL
-IDL
-LDL
-HDL
2
Q
What is the function of chylomicron and VLDL
A
-chylomicrons: transfer dietary TGA to the adipose tissue
-VLDL: transfer synthesized TGA to the liver
3
Q
What are the apolipoprotein that exists on the surface of chylomicrons and VLDL
A
BECII
-apoB
-apoE
-apoCII
4
Q
What are the difference of apolipoprotein B that exists on the surface of chylomicrons and VLDL
A
-chylomicrons (Apo B 48)
-VLDL (Apo B 100)
5
Q
What is the source of apo CII and apo E
A
-HDL
6
Q
What is the function of Apo CII
A
-activate the lipoprotein lipase that will degrade TGA to free fatty acid and glycerole
7
Q
What is the function of apo E
A
-allow the remnants to bind to the specific receptor on the liver
