Abstract excerpt
The function of a series of LDL receptor GFP fusion proteins with different, flexible, unstructured spacer regions was analysed. An optimised version of the fusion protein was used to analyse the effect of an LDL receptor mutation (W556S) found in FH patients and characterised as transport defective. In cultured liver cells this mutation was found to inhibit the transport of LDL receptor GFP fusion protein to the...
