Introduction
Lipoprotein is a complex compound formed by the combination of lipids and proteins. It is a type of spherical particles containing a hydrophobic core composed of cholesterol esters and triglycerides, and surrounded by a hydrophilic membrane composed of apolipoproteins, phospholipids and free cholesterol. In lipoproteins, there is no covalent bond between the lipid and the protein, and most of them are combined through hydrophobic interaction between the non-polar part of the lipid and the protein component. Structural properties of lipoproteins make hydrophobic lipids compatible with the aqueous environment of body fluids. Besides, many important transport proteins, structural proteins and enzymes are lipoproteins, so they play an important role in the packaging, storage, transportation and metabolism of mammalian extracellular lipids. Lipoproteins are mainly synthesized in the intestines and liver, and can circulate in the blood system. According to its density, lipoproteins can be divided into chylomicrons (CM), very-low-density lipoproteins (VLDL), intermediate-density lipoproteins (IDL), low-density lipoproteins (LDL) and high-density lipoproteins (HDL). Lipoproteins have important effects on lipid metabolism, such as triacylglycerol metabolism and cholesterol metabolism, and the abnormal expression of lipoproteins may represent the risk of certain diseases. Abnormal lipoprotein metabolism may be observed in diabetes mellitus, kidney disease, and hypothyroidism. In addition, lipoprotein is also regarded as a risk factor for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, and plays a key role in the development and progression of atherosclerosis and cardiovascular disease. Therefore, lipoproteins are regarded as a class of proteins with research significance in the field of biomarkers, and have development potential in the treatment and diagnosis of many diseases.
