Abstract
Conventional and molecular biological approaches have defined the sites of apolipoprotein synthesis and have described intra- and extracellular apolipoprotein modifications. Topics selected for discussion in this review include new aspects of apolipoprotein synthesis and modifications, modification of apolipoprotein B byproducts of lipid oxidation, remodeling of lipoproteins by transfer of apolipoproteins and functional significance, in vivo and in vitro assembly of apolipoprotein B-containing lipoproteins, and intracellular versus extracellular assembly of high-density lipoprotein and lipoprotein-type particles.
