Background:
LRP1, also designated LRP and α-2-Macroglobulin receptor, is an endocytic receptor that mediates the uptake of at least 15 ligands, including α-2-Macroglobulin and apoE. LRP1 is cleaved into a membrane subunit and an extracellular subunit, which remain non-covalently associated. Proper folding and trafficking of LRP1 is facilitated by the receptor-associated protein (RAP), a molecular chaperone. The uptake of all known ligands through LRP1 can be blocked by RAP, which induces a conformational change in the receptor that renders it unable to bind ligands. LRP1, which is expressed in brain, liver and lung, is also implicated in Alzheimer’s disease (AD), as the human LRP gene localizes to a potential AD locus on chromosome 12.
Specificity:
This antibody detects endogenous levels of LRP1 and does not cross-react with related proteins.
