Lectin-like oxidatively-modified LDL receptor-1 (LOX-1) is a major receptor for oxidized low-density lipoprotein (oxLDL) in aortic endothelial cells. Human LOX-1 (hLOX-1) gene (cDNA) was cloned from the monocytic leukemic cell line THP-1 and expressed in Pichia pastoris. The recombinant protein (rhLOX-1) was purified by his-tag affinity chromatography. Preliminary identification was performed by Western blot analysis and a ligand-receptor binding assay showed that the protein had specific oxLDL-binding activity.
凝集素样氧化修饰低密度脂蛋白受体-1(LOX-1)是主动脉内皮细胞中氧化型低密度脂蛋白(oxLDL)的主要受体。人LOX-1(hLOX-1)基因(cDNA)从单核细胞白血病细胞系THP-1中克隆出来,并在毕赤酵母中表达。重组蛋白(rhLOX-1)通过组氨酸标签亲和层析进行纯化。通过蛋白质免疫印迹分析进行初步鉴定,配体-受体结合试验表明该蛋白具有特异性oxLDL结合活性。
