Schematic figure of apolipoproteins and the lipid composition of VLDL. Very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL) contains apolipoprotein B100 (APOB) on its surface as a structural protein and a surface monolayer of phospholipids; free cholesterol; and apolipoproteins such as apolipoprotein C2 (APOC2), APOC3, apolipoprotein E (APOE), and APOA5.
