Alternative Splicing in the Ligand Binding Domain of Mouse ApoE Receptor-2 Produces Receptor Variants Binding Reelin but Not α2-Macroglobulin
1 Jun 2001
Abstract excerpt
LR7/8B and ApoER2 are recently discovered members of the low density lipoprotein (LDL) receptor family. Although structurally different, these two proteins are derived from homologous genes in chicken and man by alternative splicing and contain 7 or 8 LDL receptor ligand-binding repeats. Here we present the cDNA for ApoER2 cloned from mouse brain and describe splice variants in the ligand binding domain of this...
