Review for gene: LDLR was set to GREEN
Added comment: Hepatitis C virus (HCV) and other viruses can enter cells via LDLR mediated endocytosis (PMID 32268133). PMID 10535997 demonstrates that lack of detectable LDL receptor on cells results in resistance to infection by bovine viral diarrheal virus. Dengue virus genome replication and protein synthesis was significantly inhibited by the serine protease inhibitor AEBSF [4-(2-aminoethyl) benzene sulfonyl fluoride] that inhibits the expression of genes HMGCS, HMGCR & LDLR (PMID 31386864). A recent LDLR-null FH cell model has been developed, which is permisive to HCV infection, but virus production was significantly decreased compared with cells in which the LDLR activity had been corrected to normal levels (PMID 31358055).
