LDL Metabolism
Levels of plasma LDL are determined by the rate of LDL production and the rate of LDL clearance, both of which are regulated by the number of LDL receptors in the liver.
The levels of LDL receptors in the liver are mainly regulated by the cholesterol content of the hepatocyte.
If cholesterol levels in the cell are high, then the SREBPs remain in the endoplasmic reticulum in an inactive form and do not stimulate LDL receptor synthesis.
Cholesterol in the cell is oxidized and oxidized sterols activate LXR, which stimulates the transcription of E3 ubiquitin ligase that mediates the ubiquitination and degradation of the low density lipoprotein receptor
The LDL receptor is targeted for degradation by PCSK9, a secreted protein that binds to the LDL receptor and enhances LDL receptor degradation in the lysosomes
