Gene: Ldlr (low density lipoprotein receptor) Rattus norvegicus

Analyze

Symbol:

Ldlr

Name:

low density lipoprotein receptor

RGD ID:

2998

Description:

Exhibits low-density lipoprotein particle receptor activity. Involved in several processes, including cholesterol homeostasis; positive regulation of triglyceride catabolic process; and response to glucagon. Localizes to caveola and recycling endosome membrane. Used to study atherosclerosis and xanthomatosis. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Alzheimer's disease; arteriosclerosis; familial hypercholesterolemia; hepatitis C; and migraine without aura. Orthologous to human LDLR (low density lipoprotein receptor); PARTICIPATES IN atherosclerosis pathway; bile acid transport pathway; endocytosis pathway; INTERACTS WITH (25R)-cholest-5-ene-3beta,26-diol; 1-[(4-chlorophenyl)-phenylmethyl]-4-methylpiperazine; 1-naphthyl isothiocyanate.

Type:

protein-coding

RefSeq Status:

PROVISIONAL

Also known as:
