Description

LDL is the major carrier of cholesterol in the blood, accounting for more than 60% of total plasma cholesterol. LDL is taken up by hepatic and extrahepatic tissues through receptor-mediated endocytosis triggered by apoB-100-LDL receptor interaction. The internalized LDL particle is transported to lysosomes where it is degraded to free cholesterol and amino acids. In humans, the liver is the most important organ for LDL catabolism and LDL receptor activity. In the liver, LDL can be regulated by pharmacologic intervention.
