MeSH definition : A glycoprotein component of HIGH-DENSITY LIPOPROTEINS that transports small hydrophobic
ligands including CHOLESTEROL and STEROLS. It occurs in the macromolecular complex
with LECITHIN CHOLESTEROL ACYLTRANSFERASE. Apo D is expressed in and secreted from
a variety of tissues such as liver, placenta, brain tissue and others.;
