Novel LDL receptor analog protein and the gene coding therefor

摘要

The present invention is drawn to the gene of a novel LDL receptor family receptor which participates in lipoprotein metabolism, a critical factor that triggers the onset of arteriosclerosis. The invention provides DNA having a nucleotide sequence as shown by Sequence ID No. 1 or No.5 is disclosed as well as rabbit tissue or human tissue LDL receptor analog protein having an amino acid sequence of Sequence ID No. 2 or 6 coded by such DNA.
