epitope corresponding to amino acids 1371-1475 mapping near the C-terminus of LRP5 of human origin
Modification Notes
Members of the LDL receptor gene family, including LDLR (low density lipoprotein receptor), LRPs (low density lipoprotein related proteins), Megalin (also designated GP330), VLDLR (very low density lipoprotein receptor) and ApoER2, are characterized by a cluster of cysteine-rich class A repeats, epidermal growth factor (EGF)-like repeats, YWTD repeats and an O-linked sugar domain (1,2). Of the known family members, LRP5 is most closely related to LRP1 (3). However, LRP5 has a unique organization of EGF and LDLR repeats compared to other LDLR family members and likely represents a new category in this family (3). LRP is expressed in rat tibia in areas of the bone that are involved in remodeling (4). LRP5 is a Wnt coreceptor that binds to Axin and regulates the canonical Wnt signaling pathway (5). LRP5 affects bone mass accrual during growth and mutations in LRP5 cause the autosomal recessive disorder osteoporosis-pseudoglioma syndrome (OPPG) (6). The gene which encodes LRP5 maps to human chromosome 11q13.4 (7).
