High Density Lipoproteins (HDL) - "Good" Cholesterol High density lipoproteins are the smallest of the lipoproteins. HDL particles have a size of 6-12. 5 nanometers and a density of ~1. 12. HDL contains approximately 55% protein, 3-15% triglycerides, 26-46% phospholipids, 15-30% cholesteryl esters, and 2-10% cholesterol. HDL contains a large number of different proteins including apolipoproteins such as apo-AI (apolipoprotein A1), apo-CI, apo-CII, apo-D, and apo-E. The HDL proteins serve in lipid metabolism, complement regulation, and participate as proteinase inhibitors and acute phase response to support the immune system against inflammation and parasitic diseases. HDL is produced in the liver and intestine and acts like a scavenger of cholesterol. HDL can bind to cholesterol in cell membranes by using the apo-AI protein to mediate the formation of cholesteryl esters. The apo-D protein in HDL then activates the transfer of cholesteryl esters to VLDL and LDL. HDL also transfers apo-CII and apo-E proteins to chylomicrons and other low density lipoproteins.
