Genetic deficiency of the plasma phospholipid transfer protein (PLTP) in mice unexpectedly
causes a substantial impairment in liver secretion of apolipoprotein-B (apoB), the major
protein of atherogenic lipoproteins. To explore the mechanism, we examined the three
known pathways for hepatic apoB secretory control, namely endoplasmic reticulum
(ER)/proteasome-associated degradation (ERAD), post-ER pre-secretory proteolysis
(PERPP), and receptor-mediated degradation, also known as re-uptake. First, we found that …
