Endostatin binds biglycan and LDL and interferes with LDL retention to the subendothelial matrix during atherosclerosis
Retention of lipoproteins to proteoglycans in the subendothelial matrix (SEM) is an early event in atherosclerosis. We recently reported that collagen XVIII and its proteolytically released fragment endostatin (ES) are differentially depleted in blood vessels affected by atherosclerosis. Loss of col...
