VLDL receptor
Videos
The very-low-density-lipoprotein receptor is a transmembrane lipoprotein receptor of the low-density-lipoprotein receptor family. VLDLR shows considerable homology with the members of this lineage. Di

Endocytosis
Videos
Endocytosis is a cellular process in which substances are brought into the cell. The material to be internalized is surrounded by an area of cell membrane, which then buds off inside the cell to form
VLDL receptor
…on its role in lipoprotein uptake, the complete mechanism of lipid metabolism performed by VLDLR is not fully understood. VLDLR is known to employ endocytosis, although the exact mechanism of this process is unknown for this protein. Endocytosis is mediated through NPxY sequences known to signal for receptor…
