ChEBI Name very-low-density lipoprotein ChEBI ID CHEBI:39027 Definition A class of lipoproteins of large size (30-80 nm), very low density (0.93-1.006 g/ml) particles with a core composed mainly of triglycerides and a surface monolayer of phospholipids and cholesterol into which are imbedded the apolipoproteins B, E, and C. VLDL facilitate the transport of endogenously made triglycerides to extrahepatic tissues. Stars This entity has been manually annotated by the ChEBI Team. Roles Classification Biological Role(s): Escherichia coli metabolite Any bacterial metabolite produced during a metabolic reaction in Escherichia coli.
