The NMDA receptor functions independently and as an LRP1 co-receptor to promote Schwann cell survival and migration [PDF]

, 2015
NMDA Receptors (NMDA-Rs) are ionotropic glutamate receptors, which associate with LDL Receptor-related Protein-1 (LRP1) to trigger cell-signaling in response to protein ligands in neurons.

Peroxisome Proliferator Activated Receptors and Lipoprotein Metabolism

PPAR Research, 2008
Plasma lipoproteins are responsible for carrying triglycerides and cholesterol in the blood and ensuring their delivery to target organs. Regulation of lipoprotein metabolism takes place at numerous levels including via changes in gene transcription.

Effect of pregnancy and lactation on lipoprotein and cholesterol metabolism in the rat

Journal of Lipid Research, 1998
Origins of hyperlipidemia and cholestasis that occur during pregnancy were investigated by examining expression of key elements related to plasma and hepatic cholesterol metabolism during pregnancy, lactation, and post-lactation in the rat model.

Role of lipoprotein apheresis in the management of familial hypercholesterolemia

Global Journal of Transfusion Medicine, 2021
Familial Hypercholesterolemia (FH) is an autosomal dominant disorder due to a congenital absence of low-density lipoprotein receptor (LDL-R) that transports cholesterol-carrying lipoprotein particles into cells.

High density lipoprotein receptors, binding proteins, and ligands

Journal of Lipid Research, 1999
Several HDL binding proteins, quite disparate in structure, have recently been cloned and their role in HDL metabolism is currently being assessed. High density lipoprotein binding protein, HBP (vigilin), which lacks a transmembrane domain is responsive ...

New horizons for lipoprotein receptors: communication by β-propellers

Journal of Lipid Research, 2013
The lipoprotein receptor (LR) family constitutes a large group of structurally closely related receptors with broad ligand-binding specificity. Traditionally, ligand binding to LRs has been anticipated to involve merely the complement type repeat (CR ...

Oxidized LDL induces alternative macrophage phenotype through activation of CD36 and PAFR [PDF]

, 2013
OxLDL is recognized by macrophage scavenger receptors, including CD36; we have recently found that Platelet-Activating Factor Receptor (PAFR) is also involved.

LRP-1 and LRP-2 receptors function in the membrane neuron. Trafficking mechanisms and proteolytic processing in Alzheimer’s disease

Frontiers in Physiology, 2012
Low density lipoprotein receptor-related protein (LRP) belongs to the low-density lipoprotein receptor family, generally recognized as cell surface endocytic receptors, which bind and internalize extracellular ligands for degradation in lysosomes ...

Structural identification of oxidized acyl-phosphatidylcholines that induce platelet activation [PDF]

, 2005
Oxidation of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) generates proinflammatory and prothrombotic mediators that may play a crucial role in cardiovascular and inflammatory diseases.

Cell-associated heparin-like molecules modulate the ability of LDL to regulate PCSK9 uptake[S]

Journal of Lipid Research, 2019
Proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9) targets the LDL receptor (LDLR) for degradation, increasing plasma LDL and, consequently, cardiovascular risk.
