I understand that lipoproteins transport lipids, because they can dissolve them in their lipid core, but what exactly do the apoproteins do?

Members don't see this ad.
 
Also know a type of apoprotein is an apoenzyme, which is basically the part of the protein missing a cofactor or prosthetic group.

An apoenzyme + its cofactor(s) or prosthetic group(s) is called a holoenzyme.
