Annotation rationales
Pericentral lipoprotein hepatocytes occupy the low-oxygen central-vein zone and combine lipoprotein handling with xenobiotic and nitrogen metabolism.
Functional implications
They support lipid packaging and export, glutamine synthesis and zone-specific detoxification, while being sensitive to hypoxic and toxic injury.
