Abstract
The present invention is drawn to a DNA encoding a novel LDL receptor-analog. LDL receptors participate in lipoprotein metabolism, which is a critical factor in the onset of arteriosclerosis. The invention provides DNA having the nucleotide sequences shown by SEQ ID NOS: 1 and 5, which encode rabbit and human LDL receptor analog proteins having the sequences shown in SEQ ID NOS: 3 and 7 respectively.
