Abstract excerpt
The insect low-density lipoprotein (LDL) receptor (LDLR) homologue LpR mediates endocytosis of an insect lipoprotein (lipophorin) that is structurally related to LDL. Despite these similarities, lipophorin and LDL follow distinct intracellular routes upon endocytosis by their receptors. Whereas LDL is degraded in lysosomes, lipophorin is recycled in a transferrin-like manner. We constructed several hybrid...
