Targeting Liver Epsins Ameliorates Dyslipidemia in Atherosclerosis through Inhibition of Proprotein Convertase Subtilisin/Kexin Type 9-Mediated Low-density Lipoprotein Receptor Degradation
2024-08-27
Abstract excerpt
<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> <h4>Background</h4> The low-density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR) in the liver plays a crucial role in clearing low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) from the bloodstream. This process takes place mainly in the liver. Under atherogenic conditions, Proprotein Convertase Subtilisin/Kexin Type 9 (PCSK9), secreted by the liver, binds to LDLR on hepatocytes, preventing its recycling and enhancin...
