Chromosome | 6 | NCBI Gene Number | 108078 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.1.0) Enables low-density lipoprotein particle receptor activity. Acts upstream of or within vesicle-mediated transport. Predicted to be located in nucleoplasm. Predicted to be part of receptor complex. Predicted to be active in plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; cardiovascular system; extraembryonic component; genitourinary system; and immune system. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in cerebral amyloid angiopathy; coronary artery disease; and myocardial infarction. Orthologous to human OLR1 (oxidized low density lipoprotein receptor 1). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous mutation of this gene results in no obvious phenotype. [provided by MGI curators] |
