Abstract excerpt
The LDL receptor-related protein/alpha 2-macroglobulin receptor (LRP1/A2MR) is a multifunctional cell-surface glycoprotein that endocytoses several structurally and functionally distinct ligands. In clinical studies different genomic variants of the LRP1/A2MR and its role in the development of degenerative diseases like atherosclerosis or Alzheimer's disease were studied. We screened for novel genomic variants of...
