LRP2 Membrane Protein Introduction

Introduction of LRP2

LRP2, Low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 2 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the LRP2 gene. It’s also known as gp300 and Megalin. The structure of LRP2 is similar to the low-density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR). LRP2 is a multiligand binding receptor expressed in the plasma membrane of many absorptive epithelial cells. It can mediate the function of endocytosis and form the Heymann nephritis antigenic complex with RAP.

Function of LRP2 Membrane Protein

LRP2 (Low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 2) is also known as gp300 and Megalin. It’s a multiligand endocytic receptor which owns various functions. It can mediate endocytosis of high-density lipoproteins via acting with CUBN. It can also mediate the uptake of polybasic drugs such as aminoglycosides. In addition, it can mediate the tubular uptake and clearance of leptin in the kidney. At the choroid plexus epithelium, it can mediate transport of leptin across the blood-brain barrier through endocytosis. LRP2 is required for embryonic heart development and normal hearing, possibly through interaction with estrogen in the inner ear. Moreover, it can negatively regulate BMP signaling in the subependymal zone which enables neurogenesis. In astrocytes, LRP2 can mediate endocytosis of ALB which is required for the synthesis of the neurotrophic factor oleic acid. During optic nerve development, LRP2 is required for SHH-mediated migration and proliferation of oligodendrocyte precursor cells. It can also play a role in reproductive organ development and endocytosis of angiotensin-2.
