so one family comes from a lineage called apob so the apob family which is short for APO lipoprotein B1 100 is a family that is derived from the liver and each of those lipoproteins has one and only one APO lipoprotein b00 on it we shorten it and just call it APO B because we don't really worry about APO lipoprotein b48 which is attached to kyom microns that are responsible for fat absorption in the gut they're very shortlived They Don't Really factor into atherosclerosis so we're going to just for the purists out there there's an apob 48 we're not going to talk about it so when I say apob what I'm talking about is a protein that wraps around a subset of these lipoproteins
