Abstract excerpt
Elevated serum level of low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) is the leading risk factor for cardiovascular disease. LDL receptor (LDLR)-mediated LDL clearance is the major factor determining the LDL-C level in the circulation. LDL binds to the LDLR on the cell surface and enters the cells through classical clathrin-coated vesicles. In the acidic endosome, LDLR is uncoupled from LDL and recycles back to the...
