Site-specific O-glycosylation of members of the low-density lipoprotein receptor superfamily enhances ligand interactions

-glycosylation increased affinity for LDL by ∼5-fold. The molecular basis for this observation is currently unknown, but these findings open up new avenues for exploring the roles of LDLR-related proteins in disease.
