LDL receptor (LDLR)
What it does, reaction by reaction
This enzyme appears only in the regulation table, with no catalysed step recorded.
What accelerates and inhibits it
Regulation is pathway-specific, so each context is listed separately
Lipoprotein Metabolism (Exogenous and Endogenous Pathways: chylomicrons, VLDL, LDL, HDL)
SREBP-2 when hepatocyte cholesterol is low; receptor recycling
Intracellular cholesterol; PCSK9-mediated degradation
Insulin can increase expression; statin-mediated cholesterol depletion strongly increases LDLR through SREBP-2
