Description

Biochem/physiol Actions

Inhibits DNA synthesis in lymphocytes activated by the nonspecific mitogen concanavalin A (Con A).

VLDL (Very low density lipoprotein) may be used to study the mechanisms and effects of very low density receptors (VLDLR). VLDL is used as a potential source of fatty acids that support cardiac energy metabolism. VLDL is often studied to differentiate its effects from those of chylomicrons.

Physical form

Solution in 150 mM NaCl and 0.01% EDTA, pH 7.4
