Apolipoprotein specificity of the chicken oocyte receptor for low and very low density lipoproteins: lack of recognition of apolipoprotein VLDL-II.
At onset of egg-laying in the chicken, plasma levels of apolipoprotein VLDL-II (apoII) increase dramatically, suggesting a function of apoII in yolk deposition of triglyceride-rich lipoproteins. Thus, the possibility that this female-specific homodimeric protein (Mr of subunit, 9500) is recognized b...
