| apolpp | Apolipophorin-1; Constitutes the major component of lipophorin, which mediates transport for various types of lipids in hemolymph. Acts by forming lipoprotein particles that bind lipoproteins and lipids. Also involved in the transport of hydrophobic ligands like juvenile hormones, pheromone hydrocarbons and carotenoids. Required for morphogens wingless (wg) and hedgehog (hh) function, probably by acting as vehicles for the movement of wg and hh, explaining how covalently lipidated wg and hh can spread over long distances. May also be involved in transport and/or metabolism of heme. (3351 aa) | ||||
| Apoltp | Apolipoprotein lipid transfer particle (Apoltp) encodes a apolipoprotein of the ApoB family. It is assembled with lipids to form high density, low abundance lipoproteins named lipid transfer particles (LTP). LTP catalyzes the transfer of lipids from the gut to circulating lipophorin and from lipophorin to peripheral tissues, such as imaginal discs and ovaries. (4333 aa) | ||||
