title: Cloning and expression of human lectin-like oxidized low density lipoprotein receptor-1 in Pichia pastoris.
abstract: 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.
