Lectin-type oxidized low-density lipoprotein receptor 1 (LOX-1) is a 50 kDa transmembrane protein present in endothelial cells that recognizes oxidized low-density lipoprotein (ox-LDL) and triggers downstream signaling leading to the acceleration of atherosclerosis via endothelial dysfunction, increased uptake of ox-LDL, and apoptosis [4]. The gene discussed is OLR1; the disease is atherosclerosis.
