Low-density lipoprotein receptor adapter protein 1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the LDLRAP1 gene. [5]
The protein encoded by this gene is a cytosolic protein which contains a phosphotyrosine binding (PTB) domain. The PTB domain has been found to interact with the cytoplasmic tail of the LDL receptor. Mutations in this gene lead to LDL receptor malfunction and cause the disorder autosomal recessive hypercholesterolaemia. [5]
LDLRAP1 has been shown to interact with AP2B1 [6] [7] and LRP2. [8]
Apolipoprotein B (ApoB) is a protein that in humans is encoded by the APOB gene.
The low-density lipoprotein receptor gene family codes for a class of structurally related cell surface receptors that fulfill diverse biological functions in different organs, tissues, and cell types. The role that is most commonly associated with this evolutionarily ancient family is cholesterol homeostasis. In humans, excess cholesterol in the blood is captured by low-density lipoprotein (LDL) and removed by the liver via endocytosis of the LDL receptor. Recent evidence indicates that the members of the LDL receptor gene family are active in the cell signalling pathways between specialized cells in many, if not all, multicellular organisms.
Familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) is a genetic disorder characterized by high cholesterol levels, specifically very high levels of low-density lipoprotein, in the blood and early cardiovascular disease.The most common mutations diminish the number of functional LDL receptors in the liver. Since the underlying body biochemistry is slightly different in individuals with FH, their high cholesterol levels are less responsive to the kinds of cholesterol control methods which are usually more effective in people without FH. Nevertheless, treatment is usually effective.
Low density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 2 also known as LRP2 or megalin is a protein which in humans is encoded by the LRP2 gene.
C-jun-amino-terminal kinase-interacting protein 1 is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the MAPK8IP1 gene.
AP-2 complex subunit alpha-1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the AP2A1 gene.
Proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9) is an enzyme encoded by the PCSK9 gene in humans on chromosome 1. It is the 9th member of the proprotein convertase family of proteins that activate other proteins. Similar genes (orthologs) are found across many species. As with many proteins, PCSK9 is inactive when first synthesized, because a section of peptide chains blocks their activity; proprotein convertases remove that section to activate the enzyme. The PCSK9 gene also contains one of 27 loci associated with increased risk of coronary artery disease.
Clathrin heavy chain 1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the CLTC gene.
Arrestin, beta 1, also known as ARRB1, is a protein which in humans is encoded by the ARRB1 gene.
Microsomal triglyceride transfer protein large subunit is a protein that in humans is encoded by the MTTP gene.
Macrophage scavenger receptor 1, also known as MSR1, is a protein which in humans is encoded by the MSR1 gene. MSR1 has also been designated CD204.
AP-1 complex subunit beta-1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the AP1B1 gene.
AP-2 complex subunit beta is a protein that in humans is encoded by the AP2B1 gene.
Low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 6 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the LRP6 gene. LRP6 is a key component of the LRP5/LRP6/Frizzled co-receptor group that is involved in canonical Wnt pathway.
Sorting nexin-9 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the SNX9 gene.
Conserved oligomeric Golgi complex subunit 7 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the COG7 gene.
Low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 1B is a protein that in humans is encoded by the LRP1B gene.
Myosin regulatory light chain interacting protein, also known as MYLIP, is a protein that in humans is encoded by the MYLIP gene.
AP-4 complex subunit mu-1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the AP4M1 gene.
Cubilin is a protein that in humans is encoded by the CUBN gene.
