OLR1_HUMAN Note=Independent association genetic studies have implicated OLR1 gene variants in myocardial infarction susceptibility.[1][2][3][4][5] Note=OLR1 may be involved in Alzheimer disease (AD). Involvement in AD is however unclear: according to some authors (PubMed:12354387, PubMed:12810610 and PubMed:15976314), variations in OLR1 modify the risk of AD, while according to other (PubMed:15000751 and PubMed:15060104) they do not.[6][7][8][9][10]
Function
OLR1_HUMAN Receptor that mediates the recognition, internalization and degradation of oxidatively modified low density lipoprotein (oxLDL) by vascular endothelial cells. OxLDL is a marker of atherosclerosis that induces vascular endothelial cell activation and dysfunction, resulting in pro-inflammatory responses, pro-oxidative conditions and apoptosis. Its association with oxLDL induces the activation of NF-kappa-B through an increased production of intracellular reactive oxygen and a variety of pro-atherogenic cellular responses including a reduction of nitric oxide (NO) release, monocyte adhesion and apoptosis. In addition to binding oxLDL, it acts as a receptor for the HSP70 protein involved in antigen cross-presentation to naive T-cells in dendritic cells, thereby participating in cell-mediated antigen cross-presentation. Also involved in inflammatory process, by acting as a leukocyte-adhesion molecule at the vascular interface in endotoxin-induced inflammation. Also acts as a receptor for advanced glycation end (AGE) products, activated platelets, monocytes, apoptotic cells and both Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria.[11][12][13]

Publication Abstract from PubMed
Lectin-like, oxidized low-density lipoprotein (LDL) receptor 1, LOX-1, is the major receptor for oxidized LDL (OxLDL) in endothelial cells. We have determined the crystal structure of the ligand binding domain of LOX-1, with a short stalk region connecting the domain to the membrane-spanning region, as a homodimer linked by an interchain disulfide bond. In vivo assays with LOX-1 mutants revealed that the "basic spine," consisting of linearly aligned arginine residues spanning over the dimer surface, is responsible for ligand binding. Single amino acid substitution in the dimer interface caused a severe reduction in LOX-1 binding activity, suggesting that the correct dimer arrangement is crucial for binding to OxLDL. Based on the LDL model structure, possible binding modes of LOX-1 to OxLDL are proposed.
