abbr. apoLp-III. Kawooya et al (1984) have isolated the protein from the hemolymph of adult Manduca sexta (tobacco hornworm) where it associates reversibly with the adult-specific high density lipoprotein lipophorin. Lipophorin is the major lipoprotein in the hemolymph of most insects (Chino et al, 1981), and serves as a reusable shuttle protein for various lipids including diacylglycerol, hydrocarbons, cholesterol, and carotenoids (Shapiro et al, 1988), and the main function of apolipophorin III is the stabilization of low-density lipophorin particles crossing the hemocoel in phases of high energy consumption to deliver lipids from the fat body to the flight muscle cells (Ryan and van der Horst, 2000). The primary structure of Manduca sexta apolipophorin III has been reported by Cole et al (1987).
