oxidized low-density lipoprotein receptor 1; Ox-LDL receptor 1; lectin-type oxidized LDL receptor 1; lectin-like oxidized LDL receptor 1; lectin-like oxLDL receptor 1; LOX-1; hLOX-1 (OLR1, LOX1)

Function: 1) mediates recognition, internalization & degradation of oxidized low density lipoprotein (oxLDL) by vascular endothelial cells 2) binding of oxLDL induces the activation of NF-kappa-B via a) production of intracellular reactive oxygen b) reduction of nitric oxide (NO) release c) monocyte adhesion d) apoptosis 3) receptor for the HSP70 protein - antigen cross-presentation to naive T-cells in dendritic cells 4) leukocyte-adhesion molecule at the vascular interface in endotoxin-induced inflammation 5) receptor for a) advanced glycation end products (AGE) b) activated platelets c) monocytes d) apoptotic cells e) Gram-negative & Gram-positive bacteria 6) interacts with HSP70 Structure: - homodimer, disulfide-linked - may form a hexamer - N-glycosylated - intrachain disulfide-bonds prevent N-glycosylation at some sites - contains 1 C-type lectin domain; C-type lectin domain mediates the recognition & binding of oxLDL - cytoplasmic region is required for subcellular sorting on the cell surface Compartment: plasma membrane, a secreted form is likely Expression: 1) expressed at high level in a) endothelial cells b) highly vascularized organs - placenta, lung, liver, brain c) aortic intima d) bone marrow e) spinal cord e) surface of dendritic cells 2) widely expressed at intermediate & low level 3) induction by inflammatory cytokines a) TNF-alpha, IFN-gamma, IL-6 b) pathological conditions - hyperlipidemia, hypertension, diabetes mellitus 4) up-regulated in atherosclerotic lesions, by oxLDL, reactive oxygen species, fluid shear stress Pathology: 1) binding of oxLDL induces pro-atherogenic cellular response 2) may amplify oxLDL-induced vascular dysfunction 3) defects in OLR1 may be a cause of: a) susceptibility to myocardial infarction b) susceptibility to Alzheimer disease (AD) (controversial)
