Abstract excerpt
Context: Elevated circulating cholesterol-rich low-density lipoprotein (LDL) particles increase coronary artery disease risk. Cell-surface hepatic LDL receptors (LDLRs) clear 70% of these particles from circulation. The ectodomain of LDLR is shed into circulation, preventing it from removing LDL particles. The role that LDLR ectodomain shedding plays as a regulatory mechanism is unknown. Objective: We describe...
