Background
OLR1/LOX-1 acts as a receptor, in the form of homodimer, that mediates the recognition, internalization, and degradation of oxidatively modified low density lipoprotein (oxLDL). ORL1 is predominantly expressed in endothelial cells and vascular-rich organs such as the placenta, lung, liver, and brain. OLR1 is a protein containing 273 amino acids with a calculated molecular mass of 31 kDa but an apparent molecular mass of 50 kDa, which may result from the glycosylation of four potential N-linked glycosylation sites located at the C-terminal domain.
