== Disease ==
[https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/LDLR_HUMAN LDLR_HUMAN] Defects in LDLR are the cause of familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) [MIM:[https://omim.org/entry/143890 143890]; a common autosomal semi-dominant disease that affects about 1 in 500 individuals. The receptor defect impairs the catabolism of LDL, and the resultant elevation in plasma LDL-cholesterol promotes deposition of cholesterol in the skin (xanthelasma), tendons (xanthomas), and coronary arteries (atherosclerosis).<ref>PMID:3263645</ref> <ref>PMID:2569482</ref> <ref>PMID:3955657</ref> <ref>PMID:8347689</ref> <ref>PMID:2318961</ref> <ref>PMID:1446662</ref> <ref>PMID:1867200</ref> <ref>PMID:8462973</ref> <ref>PMID:8168830</ref> <ref>PMID:2726768</ref> <ref>PMID:1464748</ref> <ref>PMID:7573037</ref> <ref>PMID:7583548</ref> <ref>PMID:7550239</ref> <ref>PMID:7635461</ref> <ref>PMID:7635482</ref> <ref>PMID:7649546</ref> <ref>PMID:7649549</ref> <ref>PMID:8740918</ref> <ref>PMID:8664907</ref> <ref>PMID:9026534</ref> <ref>PMID:9254862</ref> <ref>PMID:9143924</ref> <ref>PMID:9259195</ref> <ref>PMID:9104431</ref> <ref>PMID:9654205</ref> <ref>PMID:9452094</ref> <ref>PMID:9452095</ref> <ref>PMID:9452118</ref> <ref>PMID:10206683</ref> <ref>PMID:10660340</ref> [:]<ref>PMID:9852677</ref> <ref>PMID:9678702</ref> <ref>PMID:10422803</ref> <ref>PMID:10090484</ref> <ref>PMID:10447263</ref> <ref>PMID:10978268</ref> <ref>PMID:10980548</ref> <ref>PMID:10882754</ref> <ref>PMID:11298688</ref> <ref>PMID:17142622</ref> <ref>PMID:19319977</ref> <ref>PMID:22160468</ref> 
== Function ==
[https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/LDLR_HUMAN LDLR_HUMAN] Binds 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. In case of HIV-1 infection, functions as a receptor for extracellular Tat in neurons, mediating its internalization in uninfected cells.

== Publication Abstract from PubMed ==
Low-density lipoprotein (LDL) receptors bind lipoprotein particles at the cell surface and release them in the low pH environment of the endosome. The published structure of the receptor determined at endosomal pH reveals an interdomain interface between its beta propeller and its fourth and fifth ligand binding (LA) repeats, suggesting that the receptor adopts a closed conformation at low pH to release LDL. Here, we combine lipoprotein binding and release assays with NMR spectroscopy to examine structural features of the receptor promoting release of LDL at low pH. These studies lead to a model in which the receptor uses a pH-invariant scaffold as an anchor to restrict conformational search space, combining it with flexible linkers between ligand binding repeats to interconvert between open and closed conformations. This finely tuned balance between interdomain rigidity and flexibility is likely to represent a shared structural feature in proteins of the LDL receptor family.

Cooperation between fixed and low pH-inducible interfaces controls lipoprotein release by the LDL receptor.,Beglova N, Jeon H, Fisher C, Blacklow SC Mol Cell. 2004 Oct 22;16(2):281-92. PMID:15494314<ref>PMID:15494314</ref>
