Peroxisome Proliferator Activated Receptors and Lipoprotein Metabolism [PDF]
PPAR Research, 2008 Plasma lipoproteins are responsible for carrying triglycerides and cholesterol in the blood and ensuring their delivery to target organs. Regulation of lipoprotein metabolism takes place at numerous levels including via changes in gene transcription.

Role of RAP in the Biogenesis of Lipoprotein Receptors
Trends in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2000 The LDL receptor gene family is composed of several endocytic receptors that share structural homology and function in cellular uptake of various ligands including lipoprotein particles. The complex structure of these lipoprotein receptors is highlighted by the presence of clusters of cysteine-rich ligand-binding repeats.

Reelin Is a Ligand for Lipoprotein Receptors [PDF]
Neuron, 1999 A signaling pathway involving the extracellular protein Reelin and the intracellular adaptor protein Disabled-1 (Dab1) controls cell positioning during mammalian brain development. Here, we demonstrate that Reelin binds directly to lipoprotein receptors, preferably the very low-density lipoprotein receptor (VLDLR) and apolipoprotein E receptor 2 ...

Regulation of macrophage apoE secretion and sterol efflux by the LDL receptor
Journal of Lipid Research, 2007 Factors that regulate apolipoprotein E (apoE) secretion by macrophages will have important effects on vessel wall lipid flux and atherosclerosis. Macrophages express the LDL receptor, which binds apoE with high affinity and could thereby affect the net ...
