Synthetic peptide directed towards the N terminal region of human OLR1
Application
Anti-OLR1 antibody produced in rabbit is suitable for western blotting at a concentration of 2.5μg/ml.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Oxidized low density lipoprotein (lectin-like) receptor 1 (OLR1; LOX1) is a receptor for low density lipoprotein (LDL) that belongs to C-type lectin superfamily. It binds, internalizes and degrades oxidized LDL and has a role as scavenger receptor. It may be involved in the regulation of Fas-induced apoptosis. Mutations in OLR1 gene are associated with atherosclerosis and myocardial infarction.

Here we demonstrate that "concentration polarization" of ox-LDL enhances LOX-1 expression and ox-LDL uptake. It damages cell surface heparan sulfate proteoglycans (HSPG) and activates LOX-1 dependent autophagy and apoptosis. We also show that ox-LDL concentration polarization occurs on the surface

Oxidized low-density lipoprotein (OxLDL) contributes to the atherosclerotic plaque formation and progression by several mechanisms, including the induction of endothelial cell activation and dysfunction, macrophage foam cell formation, and smooth muscle cell migration and proliferation. Vascular wall cells express on

Lectin-like oxidized low-density lipoprotein (LDL) receptor-1 (LOX-1) is an endothelial scavenger receptor that is important for oxidized low-density lipoprotein uptake. LOX-1 functions as an oligomer; however, little is known about the oligomeric complex and ligand processing after recognition by LOX-1.
