Arteriosclerosis, Thrombosis, and Vascular Biology, 2009 In this article, the history of the LDL receptor is recounted by its codiscoverers. Their early work on the LDL receptor explained a genetic cause of heart attacks and led to new ways of thinking about cholesterol metabolism. The LDL receptor discovery also introduced three general concepts to cell biology: receptor-mediated endocytosis, receptor ...

A New Function for the LDL Receptor: Transcytosis of LDL across the Blood–Brain Barrier [PDF]
Journal of Cell Biology, 1997 Lipoprotein transport across the blood–brain barrier (BBB) is of critical importance for the delivery of essential lipids to the brain cells. The occurrence of a low density lipoprotein (LDL) receptor on the BBB has recently been demonstrated.

Journal of Lipid Research, 1987 Gold-low density lipoprotein (LDL) conjugates were used to detect the LDL receptor on nitrocellulose paper. Solubilized rat liver membrane proteins were subjected to electrophoresis and electroblotted onto nitrocellulose paper.

Lipoprotein lipase-facilitated uptake of LDL is mediated by the LDL receptor [PDF]
Journal of Lipid Research, 2007 LPL mediates the uptake of lipoproteins into different cell types independent of its catalytic activity. The mechanism of this process and its physiological relevance are not clear.

Archives of Medical Science, 2023 Introduction This study aimed to evaluate the possible role of urolithin A (UA) and urolithin B (UB) on the mRNA expression levels of LDL receptor (LDLR) and PSCK9 genes, and also of the uptake of LDL particles in HepG2 cells.

LDL-receptor mutations in Europe [PDF]
Human Mutation, 2004 Familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) is a clinical definition for a remarkable increase of cholesterol serum concentration, presence of xanthomas, and an autosomal dominant trait of either increased serum cholesterol or premature coronary artery disease (CAD). The identification of the low-density lipoprotein (LDL)-receptor (LDLR) as the underlying cause

HDL and plaque regression in a multiphase model of early atherosclerosis [PDF]
, 2023 Atherosclerotic plaques are accumulations of cholesterol-engorged macrophages in the artery wall. Plaque growth is initiated and sustained by the deposition of low density lipoproteins (LDL) in the artery wall. High density lipoproteins (HDL) counterbalance the effects of LDL by accepting cholesterol from macrophages and removing it from the plaque. In

S-nitrosylation of ARH is required for LDL uptake by the LDL receptor [PDF]
Journal of Lipid Research, 2013 The LDL receptor (LDLR) relies upon endocytic adaptor proteins for internalization of lipoproteins. The results of this study show that the LDLR adaptor autosomal recessive hypercholesterolemia protein (ARH) requires nitric oxide to support LDL uptake.

Proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9) inhibitors in the treatment of dyslipidemia
Медицинский совет, 2021 Dyslipidemia makes a substantial contribution to the mortality as one of the leading pathogenetic factors for cardiovascular diseases. The nature and degree of the effect on the blood lipid spectrum may vary in the lipid-lowering drugs from different ...

Metabolism of low-density lipoproteins by cultured hepatocytes from normal and homozygous familial hypercholesterolemic subjects [PDF]
, 1986 The profoundly elevated concentrations of low-density lipoproteins (LDL) present in homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia lead to symptomatic cardiovascular disease and death by early adulthood.
