[[http://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/LDLR_HUMAN LDLR_HUMAN]] Defects in LDLR are the cause of familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) [MIM:[http://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== | |||
[[http://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. | |||
