The low density lipoprotein receptor (LDL R) is the founding member of the LDL R family of scavenger receptors (1, 2, 3, 4). This family contains type I transmembrane molecules that are characterized by the presence of EGF repeats, complement-like repeats, and YWTD motifs that form beta -propellers. Although members of the family were originally thought to be endocytic receptors, it is now clear that some members interact with adjacent cell-surface molecules, expanding their range of activities (2, 4). Mouse LDL R is synthesized as a 864 amino acid (aa) precursor that contains a 21 aa signal sequence, a 769 aa extracellular region, a 22 aa transmembrane segment and a 52 aa cytoplasmic tail (5). The extracellular region is complex. It consists of seven N-terminal complement-like cysteine-rich repeats (class A LDL domains) that bind LDL. Cysteines in this region participate in intrachain disulfide bonds. This region is followed by two EGF-like domains and six class B LDL repeats that generate a beta -propeller whose blades each contain a YWTD motif. This area is likely responsible for ligand dissociation (6). Finally, there is a 50 aa membrane proximal Ser/Thr-rich region that shows extensive O-linked glycosylation, generating a native molecular weight for LDL R of 135 kDa (5). Within the 52 aa cytoplasmic region, there is an NPxY motif that links the receptor to clathrin pits and binds to select adaptor proteins (1, 7, 8). The extracellular region of mouse LDL R shares 78% and 87% aa identity with the extracellular region of human and rat LDL R, respectively. LDL R is constitutively expressed and binds apoB of LDL and apoE of VLDL (9). It is responsible for clearing 70% of plasma LDL in liver (9).

Scientific Data Images for Mouse LDLR Antibody
Detection of Mouse LDLR by Western Blot.
Western blot shows lysates of mouse liver tissue. PVDF membrane was probed with 0.1 µg/mL of Goat Anti-Mouse LDLR Antigen Affinity-purified Polyclonal Antibody (Catalog # AF2255) followed by HRP-conjugated Anti-Goat IgG Secondary Antibody (Catalog # HAF017). A specific band was detected for LDLR at approximately 145 kDa (as indicated). This experiment was conducted under reducing conditions and using Immunoblot Buffer Group 1.
LDL R in Mouse Liver.
LDL R was detected in perfusion fixed frozen sections of mouse liver using Mouse LDL R Antigen Affinity-purified Polyclonal Antibody (Catalog # AF2255) at 15 µg/mL overnight at 4 °C. Tissue was stained using the Anti-Goat HRP-DAB Cell & Tissue Staining Kit (brown; Catalog # CTS008) and counterstained with hematoxylin (blue). Specific labeling was localized to the bile canaliculi.

Effect of administration of alirocumab (monoclonal antibody to PCSK9) or control antibody (10 mg/kg) on LDLR and CD81 levels in hyperlipidemic Pcsk9hum/humLdlr+/- mice.Shown are mean ± SE serum LDL-C levels (A) and Western blot analysis of CD81 and LDLR levels in liver extracts using GAPDH as loading control (B). Western blot in B was quantified using Image J. The intensities of CD81 and LDLR bands were adjusted to respective loading control for each lane and presented as a fold change from control antibody treated group. Means ± SE are shown. Serum and livers were collected on Day 4 after antibody administration. In panel B, the three columns represent three livers collected for each of the two treatments.

Lymphatic function assessment in mice following a specific knockdown of LDLR in murine endothelial cells. Two weeks after the intraperitoneal injection of an adeno-associated virus type 1 (AAV1) containing a shRNA targeting LDLR, skin draining lymph nodes were harvested, digested and analyzed by flow cytometry to assess lymphatic endothelial cell (LEC)-specific knockdown of LDLR expression in mice. Membrane-bound LDLR expression was measured on (A) CD45-CD31+Podoplanin+ and (B) CD45+ cells. Fluorescence minus one (FMO) control was used for LDLR expression, as depicted by the dotted line in the first histogram. White histogram, shSCR and dark histogram, shLldlr. LDLR expression was also determine by immunoblotting in (C) aorta isolated from female mice and (D) in liver from wild-type and Pcsk9-/- male (full dot) and female (empty dot) mice.
