Low-Density Lipoprotein Receptor-Related Protein 8NCIt concept
Preferred Label : Low-Density Lipoprotein Receptor-Related Protein 8;
NCIt synonyms : ApoER2; Apolipoprotein E Receptor 2; LRP-8;
NCIt definition : Low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 8 (963 aa, 106 kDa) is encoded by
the human LRP8 gene. This protein plays a role in lipid metabolism, ligand recognition
and signal transduction.;
