    Abstract

    The LDL-receptor-related protein is a multifunctional endocytotic receptor that clear apo E- and/or lipoprotein lipase-enriched lipoproteins, proteases such as alpha 2-macroglobulin plasminogen and activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1), Pseudomonas exotoxin A and probably vitellogenin from blood circulation. Its role in plasma chylomicron remnant clearance has been postulated, and recently has been demonstrated by using its inhibitor; receptor-associated protein (RAP) in LDL receptor knockout mice.
