Lipoprotein Delivering Triglycerides to a Cell

ID: 3DSQ00147

This medical illustration depicts a lipoprotein molecule (labeled) interacting with a cell surface during triglyceride delivery. The lipoprotein is spherical, with a yellow core of triglycerides surrounded by a light blue phospholipid monolayer and green structural proteins. Free cholesterol molecules (in orange) are embedded on the surface of the lipoprotein. The process of triglyceride delivery is highlighted, with triglycerides (labeled) being released and shown entering the cell.
