GENE INFORMATION
Gene name
LRP8 (HGNC Symbol)
Synonyms

Description
Low density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 8, apolipoprotein e receptor (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
This gene encodes a member of the low density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR) family. Low density lipoprotein receptors are cell surface proteins that play roles in both signal transduction and receptor-mediated endocytosis of specific ligands for lysosomal degradation. The encoded protein plays a critical role in the migration of neurons during development by mediating Reelin signaling, and also functions as a receptor for the cholesterol transport protein apolipoprotein E. Expression of this gene may be a marker for major depressive disorder. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding multiple isoforms have been observed for this gene.
