Abstract excerpt
The low density lipoprotein (LDL) receptor plays a pivotal role in cholesterol metabolism. Inherited mutations that disturb the activity of the receptor lead to elevations in plasma cholesterol levels and early-onset coronary atherosclerosis. Defects in either the LDL receptor or apolipoprotein B, the proteinaceous component of LDL particles that binds the LDL receptor, elevate circulating LDL-cholesterol levels...
