Answer

Four classes of LDL receptors were discovered by Michael S. Brown and Joseph L. Goldstein. These receptors play a vital role in the regulation of cholesterol metabolism and are essential for maintaining normal cholesterol levels in the body. Dysfunction or mutations in these receptors can lead to various genetic disorders, including familial hypercholesterolemia, a condition characterized by high levels of LDL (bad) cholesterol in the blood.
