Description
Density: 1.063 to 1.210 g/ml; Composition: 55-45% lipid, 45-55% protein HDL is the vehicle for reversed cholesterol transport and estrification, serving as a scavenger for free cholesterol during intravascular catabolism of lipoproteins. HDL levels are inversely correlated with coronary heart disease. In a normal fasting individual, HDL concentrations range from 1.0-2.0 g/L. Purity: Single arc by IEP against antisera to whole human serum. Essentially free of other plasma lipoproteins and chylomicrons as determined by electrophoresis using a SPIFE Vis Cholesterol gel kit for lipids and Coomassie Blue for proteins. >=95% of total lipoprotein content by electrophoresis
