LDL-Receptor Related Protein 2 definition

LDL-Receptor Related Protein 2
Antigen GP 330, Nephritis; GP330 Antigen; Glycoprotein 330; Heyman's Nephritis Antigen GP330; Heymann Nephritis Antigen GP330; LRP-2; LRP-2 Receptor; Nephritis Antigen (GP330); Renal Glycoprotein GP330; GP330, Renal Glycoprotein
An LDL-RECEPTOR RELATED PROTEIN found in the neuroepithelium and in proximal tubular cells of the kidney. It is considered a multiligand receptor in that it binds to a variety of ligands with relatively high affinity and may function in mediating the uptake and lysosomal degradation of macromolecules such as: LIPOPROTEINS; ENDOPEPTIDASES; and PROTEASE INHIBITORS.
