LPD-3 was resolved as a 345-angstrom elongated tunnel-like structure with a hydrophobic interior filled by 27 lipid molecules and three additional phospholipids within its transmembrane domain.

Oregon Health & Science University, in collaboration with Oregon State University, has discovered the structural organization and protein components of a lipid-transfer complex known as LPD-3.
