  • Title: A novel low-density lipoprotein with large amounts of phospholipid found in the egg yolk of crustacea sand crayfish Ibacus ciliatus: its function as vitellogenin-degrading proteinase.
    Author: Komatsu M, Ando S.
    Journal: Biochem Biophys Res Commun; 1992 Jul 15; 186(1):498-502. PubMed ID: 1632787.
    Abstract:
    Low-density lipoprotein (LDL) with large amounts of phospholipid but not triacylglycerol was isolated from the egg yolk of crustacea sand crayfish Ibacus ciliatus as well as lipovitellin. LDL possessed vitellogenin-degrading proteinase activity. Hemolymph vitellogenin was degraded by incubating with LDL at pH 4.5 for 72 hr at 35 degrees C and apolipoprotein profiles of vitellogenin degraded by LDL were very similar to those of lipovitellin in the egg.
