Binds VLDL and transports it into cells by endocytosis. In order to be internalized, the receptor-ligand complexes must first cluster into clathrin-coated pits. Binding to Reelin induces tyrosine phosphorylation of Dab1 and modulation of Tau phosphorylation.
Specificity
Natural and recombinant Human Very low-density lipoprotein receptor
Subcellular Location
Membrane Single-pass type I membrane protein Membrane clathrin-coated pit Single-pass type I membrane protein
Binds to the extracellular matrix protein Reelin. Interacts with VLDLR. Interacts with SNX17 (By similarity). Interacts with DAB1. Receptor for the minor-group human rhinoviruses (HRVs); binds protein VP1 through the second and third LDL-receptor class A domains.
