Description
Product Characteristics: Very low-density lipoprotein receptor, VLDL receptor, VLDL-R, VLDLR,VLDL-Receptor (Very Low Density Lipoprotein Receptor)
Cellular localisation: Cytoplasmic
Target Information: The low density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR) gene family consists of cell surface proteins involved in receptor-mediated endocytosis of specific ligands. This gene encodes a lipoprotein receptor that is a member of the LDLR family and plays important roles in VLDL-triglyceride metabolism and the reelin signaling pathway. Mutations in this gene cause VLDLR-associated cerebellar hypoplasia. Alternative splicing generates multiple transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms for this gene.
