Abstract excerpt
LDL receptors, expressed in cultured fibroblasts from patients homozygous for the FH Afrikaner-1 (FH1) mutation (Asp206 to Glu), are transported from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) to the Golgi apparatus more slowly than in normal cells. In the present study, binding characteristics of FH1 cells for lipoprotein ligands (LDL and beta VLDL) and for receptor-specific monoclonal antibodies pointed to the existence of...
