Definition
A protein-lipid-RNA complex containing separate low-density lipoprotein (LDL), lipid and RNA molecules. Separate in this context means not covalently bound to each other. Source: GOC:vesicles, PMID:23559634
Comment
Examples of LDL-containing protein-lipid-RNA complexes are described in PMID:21423178 and PMID:23559634, both showing evidence that high-density lipoprotein (HDL) and, to a lesser extent, low-density lipoprotein (HDL) transport endogenous microRNAs (miRNAs) and deliver them to recipient cells with functional targeting capabilities. Also see fig. 1 in the review PMID:22028337. Not to be confused with GO:0034362 'low-density lipoprotein particle', which describe complexes of proteins and lipids only, without RNAs.
