Abstract excerpt
Megalin is a large endocytic receptor expressed at the apical surface of several absorptive epithelia. It binds multiple ligands including apolipoproteins, vitamin and hormone carrier proteins and signaling molecules such as parathyroid hormone and the morphogen sonic hedgehog. An important characteristic of megalin is its high endocytic activity, which is mediated by tyrosine-based endocytic motifs within the...
