CD63 and coronary artery disorder: Methods: Using quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR), we measured the expression of the genes involved in lipoprotein homeostasis, namely for sterol regulatory element-binding protein 1 (SREBP1), SREBP2, low-density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR), hepatic lipase type C (LIPC), LDLR-related protein 8 (LRP8), and the genes associated with inflammation and coagulation, such as cluster of differentiation (CD) 36 (CD36), CD63, and CD14 in 96 patients with CAD and 25 healthy subjects.
