The receptor for low density lipoprotein was purified from bovine adrenal cortex in the presence of the nonionic detergent octylglucoside. Receptors were incorporated into the bilayer of egg phosphatidylcholine vesicles by a detergent-dialysis method. Reconstituted receptors were functional in that
Low density lipoprotein (LDL) processing was investigated in a human hepatoma-derived cell line, Hep G2. Hep G2 cells bound, internalized and degraded LDL via a saturable, high affinity (Kd -2 x lo-' M ) pathway similar to that present in other mammalian cells. Although 80% of the uptake and degrada
