Vldlr - very low density lipoprotein receptor

Predicted to enable several functions, including reelin receptor activity; very-low-density lipoprotein particle binding activity; and very-low-density lipoprotein particle receptor activity. Involved in several processes, including cellular response to glucose starvation; cellular response to interleukin-1; and cellular response to lipopolysaccharide. Located in several cellular components, including apical part of cell; cell surface; and perinuclear region of cytoplasm. Biomarker of focal segmental glomerulosclerosis and nephrotic syndrome. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Alzheimer's disease; cerebellar ataxia, mental retardation and dysequlibrium syndrome; and dementia. Orthologous to human VLDLR (very low density lipoprotein receptor). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
