The very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL) receptor: characterization and functions as a peripheral lipoprotein receptor.
The very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL) receptor is a member of the low-density lipoprotein (LDL) receptor family. In vitro and in vivo studies have shown that VLDL receptor binds triglyceride (TG)-rich lipoproteins but not LDL, and functions as a peripheral remnant lipoprotein receptor. VLDL receptor is expressed abundantly in fatty acid-active tissues (heart, skeletal muscle and fat), the bra...
متن کاملFamilial Hypercholesterolemia in Iran: A Novel Frameshift Mutation in Low Density Lipoprotein Receptor (LDLR) Gene
Background and Objective: Familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) is an autosomal trait, which is caused by mutations in Low Density Lipoprotein Receptor (LDLR) gene. FH penetrance is about 100% and worldwide prevalence for heterozygous subjects is almost 1 in 500 and for homozygous 1 in 1,000,000. The patients are at risk of premature coronary heart disease (CHD) due to defective LDLR a...
متن کاملRole of the Low Density Lipoprotein Receptor
A B S TRA CT The transfer of normal human fibroblasts from medium containing whole serum to medium devoid of lipoproteins produced a 90% decrease in the cellular content of cholesteryl esters and a 30% decrease in the free cholesterol content. When these lipoproteindeprived cells were subsequently incubated with human low density lipoprotein (LDL), there was a 7-fold increase in the cellular co...

متن کاملPeroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma regulates the expression and function of very-low-density lipoprotein receptor.
Very-low-density lipoprotein receptor (VLDLR) is a member of the low-density receptor family, highly expressed in adipose tissue, heart, and skeletal muscle. It binds apolipoprotein E-triglyceride-rich lipoproteins and plays a significant role in triglyceride metabolism. PPARgamma is a primary regulator of lipid metabolism in adipocytes and controls the expression of an array of genes involved ...
