Coaxing the LDL Receptor Family into the Fold [PDF]
Low-density-lipoprotein (LDL) receptor family members control diverse developmental and physiological pathways. In this issue of Cell, both Culi and Mann and Hsieh et al. report on Boca/MESD, a highly conserved chaperone required for transport of LDLR family proteins to the cell surface.

Detection of large deletions in the LDL receptor gene with quantitative PCR methods [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Familial Hypercholesterolemia (FH) is a common genetic disease and at the molecular level most often due to mutations in the LDL receptor gene.

Structural basis for the recognition of LDL-receptor family members by VSV glycoprotein
Vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) is an oncolytic rhabdovirus and its glycoprotein G is widely used to pseudotype other viruses for gene therapy. Low-density lipoprotein receptor (LDL-R) serves as a major entry receptor for VSV. Here we report two crystal

Long-term efficacy and safety of the microsomal triglyceride transfer protein inhibitor lomitapide in patients with homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia [PDF]
Homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia is a genetic disorder characterized by low-density lipoprotein (LDL)-receptor dysfunction, markedly elevated levels of LDL-cholesterol (LDL-C) and premature atherosclerosis. Patients are often poorly responsive

CRISPR/Cas gene studies were conducted in HeLa cells where either PGRMC1, TMEM97 or both proteins were removed via gene editing. A series of radioligand binding studies, confocal microscopy studies, and internalization of radiolabeled or fluorescently ...

Thoroughly analysis of the phase diagram for the Bell-Lavis model: An entropic simulational study [PDF]
In this work, we investigate the Bell-Lavis model using entropic simulations for several values of the energy parameters. The $T\times\mu$ phase diagram and the ground state configurations are analyzed thoroughly. Besides, we examine the particle density and specific heat behavior for different values of the chemical potential $\mu$ as functions of ...

ELISA measurement of LDL receptors
An enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was developed for measurement of low density lipoprotein (LDL) receptors. A monospecific polyclonal antibody to LDL receptor purified from rat liver that reacted with rat, mouse, canine, and human LDL receptor was used.

Low density lipoprotein and liposome mediated uptake and cytotoxic effect of N4-octadecyl-1-β-D-arabinofuranosylcytosine in Daudi lymphoma cells [PDF]
Low density lipoprotein (LDL) receptor-mediated uptake and cytotoxic effects of N4-octadecyl-1-beta-D-arabinofuranosylcytosine (NOAC) were studied in Daudi lymphoma cells.

Lipoprotein (a) [Lp(a)] is independently associated with CVD risk. Evolocumab, a monoclonal antibody (mAb) to proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9), decreases Lp(a). The potential mechanisms were assessed.

High bone density due to a mutation in LDL-receptor-related protein 5.
BACKGROUND Osteoporosis is a major public health problem of largely unknown cause. Loss-of-function mutations in the gene for low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 5 (LRP5), which acts in the Wnt signaling pathway, have been shown to cause ...
