Description | The low density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR) gene family consists of cell surface proteins involved in receptor-mediated endocytosis of specific ligands. Low density lipoprotein (LDL) is normally bound at the cell membrane and taken into the cell ending up in lysosomes where the protein is degraded and the cholesterol is made available for repression of microsomal enzyme 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A (HMG CoA) reductase, the rate-limiting step in cholesterol synthesis. At the same time, a reciprocal stimulation of cholesterol ester synthesis takes place. Mutations in this gene cause the autosomal dominant disorder, familial hypercholesterolemia. Alternate splicing results in multiple transcript variants.r |

Function | Binds low density lipoprotein /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. Forms a ternary complex with PGRMC1 and TMEM97 receptors which increases LDLR-mediated LDL internalization (PubMed:30443021). |
Cellular Location | Cell membrane; Single-pass type I membrane protein {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P01131}. Membrane, clathrin-coated pit. Golgi apparatus. Early endosome. Late endosome. Lysosome Note=Rapidly endocytosed upon ligand binding. Localized at cell membrane, probably in lipid rafts, in serum-starved conditions (PubMed:30443021). |
