OLR1, is a type II membrane protein that is a member of the C-type lectin family and acts as a cell-surface receptor for Ox-LDL. Ox-LDL plays a role in early ather-osclerosis, which includes the transformation of monocyte-derived macro-phages to foam cells in atherosclerotic lesions. This protein may also trigger the activation of the NFkB signal transduction pathway. Source: Recombinant corresponding to aa58-273 from human OLR1 expressed in E.coli.
