Publisher Summary This chapter focuses on the lipoprotein–receptor interactions.
Lipoprotein receptors function as a major control mechanism for the regulation of lipoprotein
catabolism. The classical studies of Goldstein and Brown demonstrated the importance of
low-density lipoprotein (LDL) receptors in supplying cells with cholesterol and in regulating
plasma LDL levels. These include the apolipoprotein (apo) E receptor, the high-density
lipoprotein (HDL) receptor, the acetyl LDL receptor, and the immunoregulatory receptor …
