Previously Indexed: Receptors, Immunologic (1990-2001)
LDL-Receptor Related Proteins Categories.
Canadian Medical Guide Definition LDL-Receptor Related Protein 1 - A LDL-receptor related protein involved in clearance of chylomicron remnants and of activated ALPHA-MACROGLOBULINS from plasma.
Canadian Medical Guide Definition 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.
