LRP2

Low density lipoprotein-related protein 2 also known as LRP2 or megalin is a protein which in humans is encoded by the LRP2 gene.[5][6][7]

Function

LRP2 was identified as the antigen of rat experimental membranous nephropathy (Heyman nephritis) and originally named gp330 and subsequently megalin[8] and later LRP2. LRP2/megalin is a multiligand binding receptor found in the plasma membrane of many absorptive epithelial cells. LRP2/megalin is a member of a family of receptors with structural similarities to the low density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR). LRP2/megalin functions to mediate endocytosis of ligands leading to degradation in lysosomes or transcytosis. LRP2/megalin can also form complexes with cubilin: those complexes are able to reabsorb several molecules and can be inhibited by sodium maleate. LRP2 is expressed in epithelial cells of the thyroid (thyrocytes), where it can serve as a receptor for the protein thyroglobulin (Tg).[9]

Clinical significance

Mutations in the LRP2 gene are associated with Donnai-Barrow syndrome.[10]
