Abstract

A decade of intense investigation has established a central role for lipoprotein receptors in regulating plasma cholesterol traffic. These receptors bind cholesterol-carrying lipoproteins and transport them into cells by receptor-mediated endocytosis. The receptor for low density lipoprotein (LDL) was the first discovered; it has been purified and its structure characterized. The LDL receptor was described in cultured human fibroblasts; identical receptors are now known to function in liver as well as in extrahepatic tissues. Operationally, the LDL/LDL receptor system can be considered the primary transport mechanism for endogenous cholesterol. Dietary cholesterol, on the other hand, is transported from the intestine in chylomicron remnants, which enter hepatocytes via distinct chylomicron remnant receptors. The chylomicron remnant/remnant receptor system is to exogenous cholesterol transport as the LDL/LDL receptor system is to endogenous cholesterol transport. In this article, we review recent developments in this rapidly advancing field.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
