Insect lipoprotein biogenesis depends on an amphipathic β cluster in apolipophorin II/I and is stimulated by microsomal triglyceride transfer protein

Lipoproteins transport lipids in the circulation of an evolutionally wide diversity of animals. The pathway for lipoprotein biogenesis has been revealed to a large extent in mammals only, in which apolipoprotein B (apoB) acquires lipids via the assistance of microsomal triglyceride transfer protein...
