Disease relevance of LRP8

  • These results demonstrate that dimeric beta 2GPI induces increased platelet adhesion and thrombus formation, which depends on activation via apoER2' [1].
  • We found significant association between SNP rs2297660 in the LRP8 gene and birth weight [2].
  • Expression of apoE receptor 2 (apoER2), a known signalling receptor in brain, was readily detected in SH-SY-5Y and CCF-STTG1 cells, common models of neurons and astrocytes, respectively, and was highest in H4 neuroglioma, NT-2 precursor cells and IMR-32 neuroblastoma cells [3].

High impact information on LRP8

  • Apoer2: a reelin receptor to remember [5].
  • In conclusion, results from the two independent samples of black women provide consistent evidence that SNP rs2297660 in LRP8 is associated with fetal growth [2].
  • Furthermore, ectopic expression of DVL1, LRP8 and Notch2 in malignant lung tissue validates the biological impact of these genetic alterations [6].
  • ApoE Receptor 2 Controls Neuronal Survival in the Adult Brain [7].
  • DAB1 and Reelin Effects on Amyloid Precursor Protein and ApoE Receptor 2 Trafficking and Processing [8].
 

Biological context of LRP8

 

Anatomical context of LRP8

 

Associations of LRP8 with chemical compounds

  • Then, using a homology cloning approach and degenerate PCR primers to amplify the conserved Cys-rich binding domain of the LDL-R family, this receptor was identified as LRP8 (formerly termed, apoER2), a newly described brain protein with several splice variants [9].
  • Phosphatidylinositol (PI) 3-kinase inhibitors suppressed the apoE effect, while apoE receptor 2 (apoER2) was tyrosine phosphorylated [15].
  • This may indicate a role of LRP8 in cholesterol delivery to steriodogenic cells [16].
 

Physical interactions of LRP8

  • DeltaV did not associate with apoER2'. We conclude that domain V is involved in both binding beta(2)GPI to anionic PL and in interaction with apoER2' and subsequent activation of platelets [17].
  • This finding explains how the Dab1 PTB domain can simultaneously bind PI and the ApoER2 tail [18].
 

Regulatory relationships of LRP8

  • Adhesion of platelets to dimerized beta(2)GPI was completely inhibited by the addition of soluble forms of both apoER2' and GPIbalpha, and the addition of receptor-associated protein and the removal of GPIbalpha from the platelet surface [19].
 

Other interactions of LRP8

 

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of LRP8

  • By means of splice variant-specific in situ hybridization, we could confirm that apoEr2 mRNA is abundantly expressed in brain tissue and, with exception of the newly identified ligand binding domain, all mRNA splice variants exhibited a similar expression pattern [13].
  • When mammalian expression vectors for eight potential protein isoforms were transfected into LDL-receptor-deficient Chinese hamster ovary cells, the proteins were all expressed on the cell surface, as detected by immunoblotting of cell extracts with a specific antipeptide antiserum to apoER2 before and after treatment of intact cells with pronase [22].
  • It was widely assumed that other closely related members of the LDL-R gene family would have similar functions, but recent experimental evidence has revealed that one such protein, apolipoprotein E receptor 2 (apoER2), has a critical role as an "outside-in" signal transducer in the brain [23].
