title: Lipoprotein-binding proteins in the human platelet plasma membrane.
abstract: The binding of homologous plasma lipoproteins to specific receptor proteins in the plasma membrane of human blood platelets was studied by ligand blotting techniques. HDL3, HDL2 and LDL showed saturable binding to three bands of 156, 130 and 115 kDa, respectively. This binding was not markedly affected by the presence or absence of Ca2+ nor by covalent modification of lysine and arginine residues of the apoprotein moieties. However, it can be almost completely reversed by the addition of heparin or suramin.
