Abstract excerpt
LR7/8B is a member of the low density lipoprotein receptor gene family that is specifically synthesized in the brain. Here we have functionally expressed in 293 cells the splice variant harboring eight ligand binding repeats (LR8B). As assessed by confocal microscopy, the expressed receptor is localized to the plasma membrane. Importantly, in cell binding experiments, we demonstrate that this protein is a...
