Serum amyloid A is not incorporated into HDL during HDL biogenesis[S]

open access: yesJournal of Lipid Research, 2020
Liver-derived serum amyloid A (SAA) is present in plasma where it is mainly associated with HDL and from which it is cleared more rapidly than are the other major HDL-associated apolipoproteins.

Cell biology of protein–lipid conjugation

open access: yesCell Structure and Function, 2023
Protein–lipid conjugation is a widespread modification involved in many biological processes. Various lipids, including fatty acids, isoprenoids, sterols, glycosylphosphatidylinositol, sphingolipids, and phospholipids, are covalently linked with proteins.

Examining the Underappreciated Role of S-Acylated Proteins as Critical Regulators of Phagocytosis and Phagosome Maturation in Macrophages

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2021
Phagocytosis is a receptor-mediated process used by cells to engulf a wide variety of particulates, including microorganisms and apoptotic cells. Many of the proteins involved in this highly orchestrated process are post-translationally modified with ...

Lipids and lipid metabolism in the eye [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Lipid Research, 2009
The vertebrate eye is a complex sensory organ consisting of multiple, distinct tissues, each having its own unique biochemical composition, structure, and physiological function. Key among these are the retina, lens, and cornea, working in concert to bring photons of light into the eye, focus them correctly on the retina, and convert their energy into ...

The Lipids

open access: yes, 2003
From chapter introduction: Students entering the field of fish nutrition might be forgiven for forming two impressions. First, is the impression that because publications on lipids often dominate research journals and conference proceedings on fish nutrition, lipids are the most important nutrients for fish. They are not.
