LDL-Receptor Related Proteins Categories.
 |
LDL-Receptor Related Protein 1 - A LDL-receptor related protein involved in clearance of chylomicron remnants and of activated ALPHA-MACROGLOBULINS from plasma. |
|
LDL-Receptor Related Protein 2 - A LDL-RECEPTOR RELATED PROTEIN found in the neuroepithelium and in proximal tubular cells of the kidney. It is considered a multiligand receptor in that it binds to a variety of ligands with relatively high affinity and may function in mediating the uptake and lysosomal degradation of macromolecules such as: LIPOPROTEINS, ENDOPEPTIDASES and PROTEASE INHIBITORS. |
