OverviewNCBI Gene

This gene encodes a member of the low density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR) family. Low density lipoprotein receptors are cell surface proteins that play roles in both signal transduction and receptor-mediated endocytosis of specific ligands for lysosomal degradation. The encoded protein plays a critical role in the migration of neurons during development by mediating Reelin signaling, and also functions as a receptor for the cholesterol transport protein apolipoprotein E. Expression of this gene may be a marker for major depressive disorder. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding multiple isoforms have been observed for this gene.

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against LRP8 can act on the native protein depends on physical access: surface and secreted proteins are reachable by circulating antibodies, intracellular proteins usually are not.

Antibody and autoantibody relevanceSeroatlas analysis

Seroatlas reads LRP8 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against LRP8 could matter depends on whether native LRP8 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

LRP8 is annotated at the cell surface, where native LRP8 is exposed to circulating antibodies and is a prime autoantibody target that could block, deplete, or overstimulate it.

Annotation status

The present source text does not explicitly label LRP8 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
