LDLR (Low Density Lipoprotein Receptor) is a widely expressed cell surface scavenger receptor. LDLR binds ApoB and ApoE, the apolipoproteins of low- and very low-density lipoproteins (LDL and VLDL), respectively. Hepatocyte LDLR is responsible for endocytosis and clearing of most plasma LDL cholesterol. At the low pH of the endocytic vesicle, it di...
