LRP1B LDL receptor related protein 1B

Gene ID: 53353, updated on 24-Sep-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: LRP-1B; LRPDIT; LRP-DIT

Summary

This gene encodes a member of the low density lipoprotein (LDL) receptor family. These receptors play a wide variety of roles in normal cell function and development due to their interactions with multiple ligands. Disruption of this gene has been reported in several types of cancer. [provided by RefSeq, Jun 2016]
