Abstract excerpt
The low density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR) binds and internalizes low density lipoprotein (LDL). At the mildly acidic pH of the sorting endosomes, LDL is released from the receptor and the receptor recycles back to the cell membrane. Mutations in the LDLR gene may disrupt the normal function of the LDLR in different ways. Class 5 mutations result in receptors that are able to bind and internalize LDL, but they...
