GenAge entry for LRP2 (Homo sapiens)

Gene name (HAGRID: 134)

HGNC symbol: LRP2
Aliases: gp330; DBS
Common name: low density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 2

Potential relevance to the human ageing process

Main reason for selection: Entry selected based on evidence showing that the gene product to be a target of genes previously linked to ageing
Description: LRP2 binds CLU and other ligands and may play a role in cholesterol homeostasis. It may also help regulate the release of parathyroid hormone [684]. Disruption of LRP2 in mice results in defective forebrain development [683]. Its role, if any, in human ageing is unclear.
