摘要

The present invention contemplates a method for treating hypercholesterolemia in a patient, which method comprises administering to the patient an LDL plasma concentration-reducing amount of a multimeric polypeptide capable of binding the LDL receptor. THe repeating unit of the polypeptide has an amino acid residue sequence corresponding to that represented by the formula LRKLRKRLLRDADDL.
