Definition
English
:
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.
