Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to determine the significance of the intracellular NPxYxxL motif of LRP1 for the atheroprotective role of this multifunctional receptor. METHODS AND RESULTS: LRP1 knock-in mice carrying an inactivating mutation in the NPxYxxL motif were crossed with LDLR-deficient mice, a model for atherosclerosis. In this LDLR(-/-) background the mutated mice showed a more atherogenic...
