Background

ApoER2 (apolipoprotein E receptor 2 or LDL receptor related protein 8) is a member of LDL receptor (LDLR) family and it acts as a cell surface receptor for Reelin (RELN) and apolipoprotein E (apoE)-containing ligands. ApoER2 facilitates extracellular RELN signal transduction to intracellular signaling processes, mainly through binding with DAB1 on its cytoplasmic tail. RELN acts via both VLDLR and ApoER2 to regulate tyrosine phosphorylation mediated DAB1 activation and microtubule function in neuronal cells. ApoER2 possess higher affinity for RELN compared to VLDLR and is therefore, a key player in Reelin pathway that governs forebrain's neuronal layering during prenatal brain development. ApoER2 associates with ER resident receptor-associated protein (RAP) as well as with dimers of beta 2-glycoprotein I. In the vasculature, ApoER2 has been suggested to implicate in suppressing platelet aggregation. Moreover, ApoER2 is highly expressed in epididymis (initial segment), where it affects the functional expression of clusterin and phospholipid hydroperoxide glutathione peroxidase (PHGPx), which are required for sperm maturation. ApoER2 also function as an endocytic receptor and defective ApoER2 have been linked to myocardial infarction type 1 (MCI1).
