TaqI polymorphism in the human LDL receptor gene.
SOURCE AND DESCRIPTION : The probe that contains exon 1 to 8 was generated from pLDLR3. pLDLR3 contains a full-length LDL receptor cDNA (Yamamoto et at. , 1984) POLYMORPHISM : TaqI identifies a bi-allelic polymorphism with a band of 1.7kb and 0.6kb. FREQUENCY : Studies in 55 unrelated normal Japanese. 1.7Vb fragment 0.69 0.6kb fragment 0.31 NOT POLYMORPHISMS : In 50 individuals no polymorphisms...
متن کاملEffects of LDL Receptor Modulation on Lymphatic Function
Atherosclerosis is driven by the accumulation of immune cells and cholesterol in the arterial wall. Although recent studies have shown that lymphatic vessels play an important role in macrophage reverse cholesterol transport, the specific underlying mechanisms of this physiological feature remain unknown. In the current report, we sought to better characterize the lymphatic dysfunction that is ...
متن کاملA Novel Mutation in Exon 4 of the Low Density Lipoprotein (LDL) Receptor Gene in an Iranian Familial Hypercholesterolemia Patient
Familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) is an autosomal co-dominant disorder of lipid metabolism, caused by mutations in LDL receptor gene. The penetrance of FH is almost 100%, meaning that half of the offspring of affected parents born with disease. The patients are at risk of premature coronary heart disease (CHD). There is no report about the molecular basis of FH in Iran. Identification of mutat...
متن کاملThe Effects of Lipophilic Antioxidants on the Affinity of LDL to Its Receptor: A Model for Prevention of Atherogenesis
The affinity of low density lipoprotein (LDL) to its receptor is very important, because most of LDL-uptake pathway is done by the LDL receptor and the change in size of LDL particle and the modification in its components may affects the LDL affinity for its receptor. In this study, the effects of lipophilic agents such as vitamin E and seven volatile oils: anethol, eugenol, geraniol, limonene,...
متن کاملThe LDL receptor.
In this article, the history of the LDL receptor is recounted by its codiscoverers. Their early work on the LDL receptor explained a genetic cause of heart attacks and led to new ways of thinking about cholesterol metabolism. The LDL receptor discovery also introduced three general concepts to cell biology: receptor-mediated endocytosis, receptor recycling, and feedback regulation of receptors....
