The LOX-1/OLR1 protein plays an important role as a receptor that recognizes, internalizes, and degrades oxidatively modified low-density lipoprotein (oxLDL), a marker of atherosclerosis, in vascular endothelial cells. OxLDL induces endothelial dysfunction, triggering pro-inflammatory responses, oxidative conditions, and apoptosis. LOX-1/OLR1 Protein, Rat (HEK293, Fc) is the recombinant rat-derived LOX-1/OLR1 protein, expressed by HEK293 , with N-hFc labeled tag.
