Over 90% of low density lipoprotein (LDL) particle is composed of Apo B. It serves the function of solubalizing cholesterol within the LDL complex, which in turn increases the transport capacity of LDL for subsequent deposit on the arterial wall. Apo B is therefore a convenient marker for assessing the cholesterol depositing capacity of the blood, and studies have clearly indicated it as a better discriminator of angiographically documented coronary artery disease than LDL cholesterol.
