SAMD1 Distribution Patterns in Mouse Atherosclerosis Models Suggest Roles in LDL Retention, Antigen Presentation, and Cell Phenotype Modulation
2021-09-12
Abstract excerpt
The theory that lesions formed by retention of circulating LDL can then progress to complicated atherosclerotic lesions has been a subject of debate, as has the mechanism of retention. In earlier work, we identified SAMD1, a protein expressed by intimal smooth muscle cells in human lesions that appears to irreversibly bind apoB-Lps in extracellular matrix near the lumen. We hypothesized this binding could contribu...
