Description

Cysteine-rich repeat in the low-density lipoprotein (LDL) receptor that plays a central role in mammalian cholesterol metabolism. The N-terminal type A repeats in LDL receptor bind the lipoproteins. Other homologous domains occur in related receptors, including the very low-density lipoprotein receptor and the LDL receptor-related protein/alpha 2-macroglobulin receptor, and in proteins which are functionally unrelated, such as the C9 component of complement. Mutations in the LDL receptor gene cause familial hypercholesterolemia.
