Function
Apolipoproteins are proteins that coat lipoprotein surface that binds lipids such as cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein (LDL), or high-density lipoproteins (HDL) in lipid metabolism. They function in the transport of such lipids in their structure that acts as a ligand to cell receptors and lipid transport proteins. Amphipathic structural behavior are what allows the interaction between hydrophobic properties of water, such as in the blood stream and hydrophobic lipids.
Apolipoprotein A-I is a protein APOA1 gene in humans that is a component of HDL, used in the transport of cholesterol phospholipids in the body through the bloodstream

Structural highlights
Apolipoprotein a-1 consists of unique pseudo continuous highlighted by kinks at Pro residues, spaced approximately every 22 residues.
This is a sample scene created with SAT to by Group, and another to make of the protein. You can make your own scenes on SAT starting from scratch or loading and editing one of these sample scenes.
