"The combination of lipids with proteins makes cholesterol more soluble in plasma, but the complexes are unable to diffuse through cell membranes. INSTEAD, they must be brought into cells by receptor-mediated endocytosis." The apoproteins in the complexes are specific for membrane receptors in different tissues.

Is there a diagram that can be posted for this? It would make it a little more clear. 157.160.174.186 (talk) 05:59, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
