Oxidized low-density lipoprotein receptor 1 (Ox-LDL receptor 1) also known as lectin-type oxidized LDL receptor 1 (LOX-1) is a protein that in humans is encoded by the OLR1gene.[5][6]
LOX-1 is the main receptor for oxidized LDL on endothelial cells, macrophages, smooth muscle cells,[7] and other cell types.[8] But minimally oxidized LDL is more readily recognized by the TLR4 receptor, and highly oxidized LDL is more readily recognized by the CD36 receptor.[9]
