background:
Low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 3 (LRP3) is a 770 amino acid protein that contains two CUB domains and four LDL-receptor class A domains. LRP3 is widely expressed with highest expression in skeletal muscle and ovary and lowest expression in testis, colon and leukocytes. LRP3 is potentially a membrane receptor involved in the internalization of lipophilic molecules and/or signal transduction.
Function:
Probable receptor, which may be involved in the internalization of lipophilic molecules and/or signal transduction. Its precise role is however unclear, since it does not bind to very low density lipoprotein (VLDL) or to LRPAP1 in vitro.
