High-Yield Explanation
Apo B Transport of dietary cholesterol from the intestine In the intestine, cholesterol esters and some unesterified cholesterol are incorporated into chylomicrons, which transports cholesterol and other dietary lipids from the intestine. When triacylglycerol of chylomicrons is hydrolyzed by lipoprotein lipase in the peripheral tissues, cholesterol is not lost. Which is taken up by the liver in chylomicron remnants. Thus, dietary cholesterol from the intestine to the liver is transported by chylomicrons-chylomicron remnants system. The most important apoprotein of chylomicrons and chylomicron remnants is apo-B (apo-B48).
