Members of the LDL receptor gene family, including LDLR (low density lipoprotein receptor), LRP1 (low density lipoprotein related protein), Megalin (also designated GP330), VLDLR (very low density lipoprotein receptor) and ApoER2 are characterized by a cluster of cysteine-rich class A repeats, epidermal growth factor (EGF)-like repeats, YWTD repeats and an O-linked sugar domain. LRP12, also designated ST7, is a member of the LDLR family that is thought to be involved in the internalization of lipophilic molecules and/or signal transduction. LRP12 has been shown to interact with RACK1, MADHIP and Integrin beta-1-binding protein 3. It is widely expressed in heart, skeletal muscle, brain, lung, placenta and pancreas. Overexpression of LRP12 may be associated with oral tumors, therefore implicating LRP12 as a potential oncogene.
