Description : Low-Density Lipoprotein (LDL) Receptor is also known as LDLR, FH, FHC, LDLCQ2, and is a mosaic protein of ~840 amino acids (after removal of signal peptide) that mediates the endocytosis of cholesterol-rich LDL. It is a cell-surface receptor that recognizes the apoprotein B100 which is embedded in the phospholipid outer layer of LDL particles. The receptor also recognizes the apoE protein found in chylomicron remnants and VLDL remnants (IDL). It belongs to the Low density lipoprotein receptor gene family. LDL receptor complexes are present in clathrin-coated pits (or buds) on the cell surface, which when bound to LDL-cholesterol via adaptin, are pinched off to form clathrin-coated vesicles inside the cell. This allows LDL-cholesterol to be bound and internalized in a process known as endocytosis and prevents the LDL just diffusing around the membrane surface. This occurs in all nucleated cells (not erythrocytes), but mainly in the liver which removes ~70% of LDL from the circulation. Synthesis of receptors in the cell is regulated by the level of free intracellular cholesterol; if it is in excess for the needs of the cell then the transcription of the receptor gene will be inhibited. LDL receptors are translated by ribosomes on the endoplasmic reticulum and are modified by the Golgi apparatus before travelling in vesicles to the cell surface. LDL is directly involved in the development of atherosclerosis, due to accumulation of LDL-cholesterol in the blood. Atherosclerosis is the process responsible for the majority of cardiovascular diseases.

Q&As (5)

Ask a question
Are there conditions where upregulation of LDLR might be beneficial? 03/17/2022

Yes, conditions where increasing the expression or function of LDLR could potentially aid in reducing circulating LDL cholesterol and minimizing cardiovascular risk.

Are there ongoing research efforts regarding LDLR and its clinical applications? 09/02/2021

Yes, research is continually conducted to better understand LDLR-related conditions and to develop more effective treatments, including gene-editing technologies and novel therapies.

What are the clinical implications of LDLR dysfunction? 09/01/2020

Dysfunction in LDLR can lead to high levels of LDL cholesterol in the blood, contributing to conditions like familial hypercholesterolemia and an increased risk of heart disease.

How does LDLR impact atherosclerosis? 05/27/2020

A dysfunctional LDLR can lead to an accumulation of LDL cholesterol in the arteries, promoting atherosclerosis, the hardening and narrowing of arteries.

What treatment options exist for LDLR-related conditions? 02/23/2018

Treatments involve lifestyle changes, cholesterol-lowering medications, and in some cases, gene therapies or specialized medications targeting the LDL receptor.
