The WHC modification was found to trap LDLR in the ER, preventing glycosylation in the Golgi apparatus and resulting in protein degradation rather than trafficking to the cell surface.
“This modification was found to trap LDLR in the ER, preventing glycosylation in the Golgi apparatus, and resulting in protein degradation rather than trafficking to the cell surface89–91.”
From Pathways and Molecular Mechanisms Governing LDL Receptor Regulation (2025) · cites this paper as [89]
The Discussion (p. 2459) predicts that the WHC mutation prevents LDLR transport from the endoplasmic reticulum to the Golgi and cell surface; it does not report this as an observed finding. The passage does not establish that Golgi glycosylation is prevented or that the protein is degraded. (LLM, conf=0.88)
Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredENU mutagenesis generated the Wicked High Cholesterol (WHC) mouse model, which developed hypercholesterolemia at levels found in LDLR knockout animals.
“To model these Class II mutations ENU mutagenesis generated a mouse model, the Wicked High Cholesterol (WHC) mouse89, that developed hypercholesterolemia at levels found in LDLR knockout animals.”
From Pathways and Molecular Mechanisms Governing LDL Receptor Regulation (2025) · cites this paper as [89]
The Abstract identifies WHC as an LDL receptor mutation found through ENU mutagenesis. In “Comparison of WHC homozygotes to Ldlr KO strain” (page not provided), the paper reports similar cholesterol levels on chow, but significantly higher total cholesterol in knockout mice after an atherogenic diet. The unqualified claim that WHC reached knockout cholesterol levels omits that diet-dependent difference. (LLM, conf=0.86)

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.
