What Enzymes Are Involved in This Catalytic Process?
Several enzymes are involved in the catalytic process of LDL particle internalization and degradation. Key enzymes include:
- Clathrin: Facilitates the formation of clathrin-coated pits. - Dynamin: Catalyzes the scission of the vesicle from the plasma membrane. - Lysosomal Enzymes: Degrade the internalized LDL particles within lysosomes, releasing free cholesterol.
