Role of an intramolecular contact on lipoprotein uptake by the LDL receptor.
Biochimica et biophysica acta - 1 Jun 2011

Abstract excerpt
The LDL receptor (LDLR) is an endocytic receptor that plays a major role in the clearance of atherogenic lipoproteins from the circulation. During the endocytic process, the LDLR first binds lipoprotein at the cell surface and then traffics to endosomes, where the receptor releases bound lipoprotein. Release is acid-dependent and correlates with the formation of an intramolecular contact within the receptor....
