Expression of LDL receptor-related proteins (LRPs) in common solid malignancies correlates with patient survival [PDF]
, 2017 LDL receptor-related proteins (LRPs) are transmembrane receptors involved in endocytosis, cell-signaling, and trafficking of other cellular proteins. Considerable work has focused on LRPs in the fields of vascular biology and neurobiology.
