title: Characterization of lipoprotein lipase activators from equine plasma.
abstract: Equine plasma lipoproteins were fractionated into VLDL, LDL-1, LDL-2 and HDL by density gradient ultracentrifugation. From each lipoprotein fraction, five apo C like peptides of approx. M(r) 1400, 10000, 9500, 9000 and 8000 were detected by SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. After partial purification by Sephadex G-75, one fraction, showing a strong activation of lipoprotein lipase, was further purified by Mono Q anion exchange column. Two of the apo C like peptides (M(r) 10000 and 8000) activated the bovine milk lipoprotein lipase in vitro; only one (M(r) 9500) inhibited the lipolytic activity. This work confirms that many mammals present two apo C-II components with different molecular weights.
