MeSH definition : Protein-lipid combinations abundant in brain tissue, but also present in a wide variety
of animal and plant tissues. In contrast to lipoproteins, they are insoluble in water,
but soluble in a chloroform-methanol mixture. The protein moiety has a high content
of hydrophobic amino acids. The associated lipids consist of a mixture of GLYCEROPHOSPHATES;
CEREBROSIDES; and SULFOGLYCOSPHINGOLIPIDS; while lipoproteins contain PHOSPHOLIPIDS;
CHOLESTEROL; and TRIGLYCERIDES.;
MeSH annotation : do not confuse with LIPOPROTEINS or LIPID-LINKED PROTEINS;
