Protein function (UniProt)

Very low-density lipoprotein receptor

Multifunctional cell surface receptor that binds VLDL and transports it into cells by endocytosis and therefore plays an important role in energy metabolism. Also binds to a wide range of other molecules including Reelin/RELN or apolipoprotein E/APOE-containing ligands as well as clusterin/CLU (PubMed:24381170, PubMed:30873003). In the off-state of the pathway, forms homooligomers or heterooligomers with LRP8 (PubMed:30873003). Upon binding to ligands, homooligomers are rearranged to higher order receptor clusters that transmit the extracellular RELN signal to intracellular signaling processes by binding to DAB1 (PubMed:30873003). This interaction results in phosphorylation of DAB1 leading to the ultimate cell responses required for the correct positioning of newly generated neurons. Later, mediates a stop signal for migrating neurons, preventing them from entering the marginal zone (By similarity)
