[HTML][HTML] Structure and function of lamellar bodies, lipid-protein complexes involved in storage and secretion of cellular lipids.
G Schmitz, G Müller - Journal of lipid research, 1991 - ASBMB
This review article attempts to present an overview of the occurrence and function of lipid
storage and secretory organelles: the lamellar bodies. Morphologically these organelles
vary considerably in size (100 nm to 2400 nm); they are surrounded by a membrane and
contain multilamellar lipid membranes. Lamellar bodies may also contain apolipoproteins
and lytic enzymes and have an acidic pH, which confers on them a lysosomal character.
Under normal physiological conditions, the main function of lamellar bodies is the supply of …
