Molecular mechanism of LDL cholesterol regulation

In a crucial step towards understanding the mechanisms of cardiovascular disease and certain cancers, a research team has achieved a world first: finding the molecular mechanism by which the PCSK9 protein degrades the receptors for LDL - low-density lipoproteins - the molecules in the blood that transport cholesterol to the cells that use it. The degradation of LDL receptors leads to an increase...
