Wouldn't it be nice if there really were a fat guy with a white Lou Albano beard and a red suit who would see to the fact that you got the exact records you wanted for Christmas?

Like Venus's-flytraps, vacant LDL receptors snare the passing packets. The lipoproteins are rapidly broken down in the cell, and the cholesterol is freed for use, while the receptor returns to the membrane, ready for prey...
