products description :
MyBioSource is the leading manufacturer and supplier of Human Serum High Density Lipoprotein (HDL) for use in medical research and bulk clinical diagnostic manufacturing. Technical support, bulk quantities and aliquoting available. Single lot sizes from 50-250 grams. Cholesterol can't dissolve in the blood, it must be transported to and from the cells by carriers called lipoproteins. Low-density lipoprotein, or LDL, is known as "bad" cholesterol. High-density lipoprotein, or HDL, is known as "good" cholesterol. These two types of lipids, along with triglycerides and Lp(a) cholesterol, make up your total cholesterol count, which can be determined through a blood test.

ncbi summary :
The protein encoded by this gene binds high density lipoprotein (HDL) and may function to regulate excess cholesterol levels in cells. The encoded protein also binds RNA and can induce heterochromatin formation. Three transcript variants encoding two different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2011]
uniprot summary :
vigilin: a nuclear and cytoplasmic protein that may play a role in cell sterol metabolism. It may function to protect cells from over-accumulation of cholesterol. Protein type: Lipid-binding; RNA-binding. Chromosomal Location of Human Ortholog: 2q37.3. Cellular Component: cytoplasm; plasma membrane; nucleus. Molecular Function: protein binding; lipid binding. Biological Process: cholesterol metabolic process; lipid transport
