Precautions | LDLR Antibody is for research use only and not for use in diagnostic or therapeutic procedures. |
Name | LDLR |

Function | Binds low density lipoprotein /LDL, the major cholesterol- carrying lipoprotein of plasma, and transports it into cells by endocytosis. In order to be internalized, the receptor-ligand complexes must first cluster into clathrin-coated pits. Forms a ternary complex with PGRMC1 and TMEM97 receptors which increases LDLR-mediated LDL internalization (PubMed:30443021). |
Cellular Location | Cell membrane; Single-pass type I membrane protein {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P01131}. Membrane, clathrin-coated pit. Golgi apparatus. Early endosome. Late endosome. Lysosome Note=Rapidly endocytosed upon ligand binding. Localized at cell membrane, probably in lipid rafts, in serum-starved conditions (PubMed:30443021). |

Background
Low density lipoprotein receptors (LDLR) are cell surface glycoproteins that regulate LDL cholesterol by scavenging LDL from the blood. LDLR is characterized by a cluster of cysteine-rich class A repeats, EGF-like repeats, the O-linked s µgars domain and six YWTD or class B repeats. Mutations in the LDLR gene cause autosomal dominant disease such as familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) and atherosclerosis.
