Gene information for LRP8 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID7804
Official gene symbolLRP8
Full namelow density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 8, apolipoprotein e receptor
Aliases,APOER2,HSZ75190,MCI1,
Gene summaryThis gene encodes an apolipoprotein E receptor, a member of the low density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR) family. Apolipoprotein E is a small lipophilic plasma protein and a component of lipoproteins such as chylomicron remnants, very low density lipoprotein (VLDL), and high density lipoprotein (HDL). The apolipoprotein E receptor is involved in cellular recognition and internalization of these lipoproteins. Alternative splicing generates multiple transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms for this gene. [provided by RefSeq]
