Likely to be a multifunctional endocytic receptor, that may be implicated in the uptake of lipoproteins and of proteases Binds LDL, the major cholesterol-carrying lipoprotein of plasma, and transports it into cells by endocytosis. Binds the receptor- associated protein (RAP). Could play a role in cell-cell interaction
Tissue Specificity
Expressed mainly in brain, where it is most abundant in the cerebellum, cerebral cortex and the occipital pole; low expression in the putamen and the thalamus. According to PubMed:9157966, found in spinal cord, testis, liver, kidney and pancreas with detectable levels in placenta, lung and heart According to PubMed:8940146, expressed in the prostate, ovary, thyroid and spleen, but not found in kidney, liver, lung, skeletal muscle, bone marrow and adrenals
Cellular Localization
