LRP8 Antibodies
AND LRP8 ELISA kits, LRP8 Proteins
Many biological assays use antibodies to detect LRP8, such as Western Blot (WB), ELISA, Flow Cytometry, Immunocytochemistry (IHC). These antibodies can be polyclonal or monoclonal, and react with LRP8 in Human, Mouse, Rat, and many other animal samples. Boster Bio use mainly mouse and rabbit to develop LRP8 antibodies...

LRP8 Overview
Facts about Low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 8.
Low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 8 (LRP8)
LRP8 participates in distributing the extracellular Reelin signal to intracellular signaling processes, by binding to DAB1 on its cytoplasmic tail. Reelin acts via both the VLDL receptor (VLDLR) and LRP8 to modulate DAB1 tyrosine phosphorylation and microtubule function in neurons.
LRP8 has greater affinity for Reelin than VLDLR. LRP8 is thus a key component of the Reelin pathway which governs neuronal layering of the forebrain during embryonic brain development.

Tissue Specificity
Expressed mainly in brain and placenta. Also expressed in platelets and megakaryocytic cells. Not expressed in the liver.
Subcellular Localizations
Cell membrane; Single-pass type I membrane protein. Secreted. Isoforms that contain the exon coding for a furin-type cleavage site are proteolytically processed, leading to a secreted receptor fragment.
