British medical bulletin - 1 Oct 1990
Soutar A K, Knight B L
Abstract excerpt
The structural features necessary for the efficient functioning of the LDL receptor are beginning to emerge from investigation of naturally-occurring and artificially-produced mutations in the gene. Six of the seven repeated sequences in the highly-structured NH2-terminal region are needed for optimal binding of LDL and some of the detailed requirements have been elucidated. The membrane-spanning region is...
