Low-density lipoprotein (LDL), often deemed the "bad cholesterol", is a lipoprotein that carries cholesterol throughout the body via blood circulation. Human low-density lipoprotein (LDL) is large protein complex (∼500,000 Da) that binds to a specific receptor on the surface of vertebrate cells and delivers cholesterol via receptor-mediated endocytosis. PharmaOnco™ Human Low-density lipoproteins has been derived from human plasma. LDL promotes the proliferation and survival of human hematopoietic and other progenitor cells in culture.
