Abstract excerpt
Low-density lipoprotein-related receptor 5 (LRP5) is an LDLR family member with well-defined roles in mediating Wnt signaling. Its domain structure includes four LDLR class B and three LDLR class A repeats. Class B repeats mediate binding with Wnt ligands and other effectors, while the role of the LRP5 class A repeats, known to interact with apolipoproteins within the LDLR, is unclear. Complete loss of the LRP5...
