Disease relevance of Lrp8

  • Besides brain formation defects, apoER2-deficient mice also exhibit male infertility [1].
  • Because insufficient expression of PHGPx is a major cause of infertility in men, these findings not only highlight an important new function for apoER2 that is unrelated to neuronal migration, but they also suggest a possible role for apoER2 in human infertility [1].

Associations of Lrp8 with chemical compounds

  • ApoE Receptor 2 Controls Neuronal Survival in the Adult Brain [9].
 

Physical interactions of Lrp8

  • Moreover, phosphorylated but not native apoER2' co-precipitated with the Src family member Fgr [10].
  • Binding experiments performed with Chinese hamster ovary cells expressing the human apoER2 showed that the receptor was able to bind VLDL containing either of the apoE isoforms, as well as the apoE-deficient VLDL [11].

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of Lrp8

  • Functional dissection of Reelin signaling by site-directed disruption of Disabled-1 adaptor binding to apolipoprotein E receptor 2: distinct roles in development and synaptic plasticity [18].
  • Confocal microscopy revealed a high degree of co-localization of LDL and a splice variant of the LDL receptor family member apolipoprotein E receptor-2 (apoER2') at the platelet surface, suggesting that apoER2' may contribute to LDL-induced platelet signaling [10].
