Hypercholesterolemia

Information about Hypercholesterolemia: characteristics, related genes and pathways, plus antibodies you can use for research. This page is being enriched constantly, if you see some information you would like this page to include please send your suggestions to us.

Overview of Hypercholesterolemia

Most recent studies have shown that Hypercholesterolemia shares some biological mechanisms with arteriosclerosis, atherosclerosis, cardiovascular-diseases, cerebrovascular-accident, complications-of-diabetes-mellitus, coronary-artery-disease, coronary-heart-disease, diabetes-mellitus, diabetes-mellitus-non-insulin-dependent, dyslipidemias, heart-diseases, hypercholesterolemia-familial, hyperlipidemia, hyperlipoproteinemia-type-iib, hyperlipoproteinemias, hypertensive-disease, infarction, myocardial-infarction, myocardial-ischemia, obesity.

Among the many pathways, these few ones have gauged particular interests from scientists studying Hypercholesterolemia, and have been seen in publications frequently: Aging, Angiogenesis, Cell Adhesion, Cell Proliferation, Cholesterol Homeostasis, Cholesterol Transport, Coagulation, Endocytosis, Excretion, Glomerular Filtration, Intestinal Cholesterol Absorption, Localization, Menopause, Pathogenesis, Platelet Aggregation, Reverse Cholesterol Transport, Secretion, Transport, Vasoconstriction, Vasodilation

Quite a number of genes have been found to play important roles in Hypercholesterolemia, such as ACE, ALB, APOA1, APOB, APOE, CD55, CETP, CFH, CRP, FH, HMGCR, INS, LDLR, LPA, LPL, PCSK9, TCN2, TG.

In a later update, we will include information such as current drugs and therapy solutions as well as on-going and past clinical trials for this disease. Plesae stay updated.
