Prolow-Density Lipoprotein Receptor-Related Protein 1 - CISMeF
Prolow-Density Lipoprotein Receptor-Related Protein 1NCIt concept
Preferred Label : Prolow-Density Lipoprotein Receptor-Related Protein 1;
NCIt synonyms : CD91 Antigen; Apolipoprotein E Receptor; APOER; A2MR; CD Antigen CD91; Alpha-2-Macroglobulin Receptor; CD91; LRP-1; LRP1;
NCIt definition : Prolow-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 1 (4544 aa, 505 kDa) is encoded
by the human LRP1 gene. This protein is involved in the mediation of endocytosis and
turnover.;
NCIt note : Prolow-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 1 is processed by furin to two
domains. One has an apparent molecular weight of 85 kDa and is a transmembrane protein
and a the other has an apparent molecular weight of 515 kDa and is an extracellular
domain that remains associated with the cell surface through non-covalent bonds to
the 85 kDa portion. (UniProt);
