2-Hydroxyacetaldehyde

Overview

2-Hydroxyacetaldehyde acts as a ribonucleotide synthesis precursor and a LDL modifier. 2-Hydroxyacetaldehyde specifically targets lysine residues of high-affinity LDL receptors and their apolipoproteins. By blocking the ε-amino groups of apolipoproteins, 2-Hydroxyacetaldehyde prevents receptor recognition, thereby reducing LDL degradation by macrophages. 2-Hydroxyacetaldehyde generates modified LDL, which serves as a probe for investigating non-receptor-dependent catabolic pathways.
