Difference between Atherosclerosis and LDL receptor

Atherosclerosis vs. LDL receptor

Atherosclerosis is a disease in which the inside of an artery narrows due to the build up of plaque. The Low-Density Lipoprotein (LDL) Receptor (LDL-R) is a mosaic protein of 839 amino acids (after removal of 21-amino acid signal peptide) that mediates the endocytosis of cholesterol-rich LDL.
