Abstract excerpt
Lectin-like oxidized lipoprotein (OxLDL) receptor 1, LOX-1, is the major OxLDL receptor expressed on vascular endothelial cells. We have previously reported the ligand-recognition mode of LOX-1 based on the crystal structure of the ligand binding domain (C-type lectin-like domain, CTLD) and surface plasmon resonance analysis, which suggested that the functional significance of the CTLD dimer (the 'canonical'...
