The LDL Receptor [PDF]

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 ...

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.

An in vitro investigation of the effects of urolithins A and B on low-density lipoprotein uptake and its regulatory genes

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.

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 ...

Sequencing the Exon.4 of the LDL Receptor Gene in Patients with Familial Hypercholesterolemia in the Population of Bushehr, Southwestern Iran: the Possible New Mutations [PDF]

Journal of Advanced Biomedical Sciences, 2021
Background & Objective: Familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) is the most common genetic disease in the world and an autosomal dominant disease characterized by increased plasma cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) concentrations.

Regulation of low density lipoprotein receptor gene expression in HepG2 and Caco2 cells by palmitate, oleate, and 25-hydroxycholesterol

Journal of Lipid Research, 1995
Our in vivo studies in mice have shown that LDL-receptor gene expression is regulated differently in both liver and intestine by dietary cholesterol and dietary saturated fat.

Small dense low density lipoprotein has increased affinity for LDL receptor-independent cell surface binding sites: a potential mechanism for increased atherogenicity1

Journal of Lipid Research, 1998
Small dense low density lipoprotein (LDL) particles have altered apolipoprotein (apo) B conformation and lowered affinity for the LDL receptor (J. Biol. Chem. 1994. 269: 511–519).

LDL Receptors in Keratinocytes

Journal of Investigative Dermatology, 1992
The presence of sufficient amounts of cholesterol in the epidermis is necessary for proper functioning of plasma membranes in the viable epidermal cell layers and also for the barrier quality of lipid intercellular bilayers of the stratum corneum. Cholesterol can be generated by local epidermal synthesis, or imported from the circulation as low-density

СОХРАНЕНИЕ РЕЦЕПТОРОВ ЛПНП — НОВЫЙ ПОДХОД К ТЕРАПИИ ГИПЕРЛИПИДЕМИИ

Архивъ внутренней медицины, 2013
LDL receptor plays a key role in the metabolism of LDL cholesterol. It have been shown that proprotein convertase subtlisin/kexin type 9 is essential for post-transcriptional regulatation of the cell surface expression of the LDL receptor by ...

The role of proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 inhibitors in managing cardiovascular risk

South African Family Practice, 2016
Hypercholesterolaemia and dyslipidaemia, marked by decreased levels of high-density lipoprotein and elevated levels of lowdensity lipoprotein (LDL), increase the risk of cardiovascular disease.
