Mouse monoclonal [8G1] to Low Density LRPMost abundant in liver, brain and lung. Involved in the plasma clearance of chylomicron remnants and activated alpha 2 macroglobulin, as well as the local metabolism of complexes between plasminogen activators and their endogenous inhibitors. After cleavage, the intracellular domain (LRPICD) is detected both in the cytoplasm and in the nucleus. The LRPICD is involved in the interaction with MAFB. Cleaved into a 85 kDa membrane spanning subunit (LRP-85) and a 515 kDa large extracellular domain (LRP-515) that remains non covalently associated.
