SUBCELLULAR LOCALIZATION	extracellular
	plasma membrane
	intracellular

basic FUNCTION	inducing tyrosine phosphorylation of DAB1 and modulation of tau phosphorylation
	possible signaling role for LRP8 in sperm development and function that is independent of selenium uptake (
	LRP8, and LRP2 mediate tissue-specific SEPP1 uptake
	plays important roles in structure and function of CNS synapses and dendritic spines, and these roles are modulated by cytoplasmic adaptor proteins APBA1 and DLG4
	is essential to protect the root surface from resorption
	pivotal role in the establishment and maintenance of normal retinal synaptic connectivity
	positive regulator of Wnt/CTNNB1 signaling
	novel positive factor of canonical Wnt signaling pathway and involved in Wnt-induced osteoblast differentiation

INTERACTION

DNA

RNA

small molecule

protein	reelin
	proteolytic cleavage of RELN and alternative splicing of LRP8 may be involved in the fine regulation of RLN signaling
	platelet receptor for FXI
	RELN and apolipoprotein E (apoE), ligands of LRP8, are involved in retinal development and degeneration, respectively
	is being the main receptor responsible for RELN mediated detachment of neuroblasts and correct migration of early generated interneurons within the olfactory bulb (OB), a prerequisite for correct OB lamination
	HIC1 is a direct transcriptional repressor of LRP8 and VLDLR
	CLU binds to apolipoprotein E receptor 2 (LRP8) and very low density lipoprotein receptor (VLDLR) and is internalized by cells expressing either one of these receptors
	RELN governs cell migration through activation of multiple intracellular signaling events by means of the receptors LRP8 and VLDLR, and the intracellular adaptor protein Disabled-1 (DAB1)
	SFRS11 directly binds to the 3' UTR of LRP8 mRNA, as well as to the third exon of APOE mRNA, resulting in stabilization of these mRNAs, eventually deactivating JNK signaling
