Ligand for LDL
LOW-DENSITY LIPOPROTEINS (LDL) LDL transpos cholesterol from liver to peripheral tissues. The only apoprotein present in LDL is apo B100. Most of the LDL paicles are derived from VLDL, but a small pa is directly released from liver. The half-life of LDL in blood is about 2 days.Ref: DM Vasudevan - Textbook of Biochemistry, 8th edition, page no: 153
