  1. Role of LRP1 in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease: evidence from clinical and preclinical studies

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 38 out of 100. Journal of lipid research 2017-04-04 Genetics

    Among the LDL receptor (LDLR) family members, the roles of LDLR-related protein (LRP)1 in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease (AD), especially late-onset AD, have been the most studied by genetic, neuropathological, and biomarker analyses (clinical studies) or cellular and animal model systems (preclinical studies) over the last 25 years.

  2. Amyloid precursor protein regulates brain apolipoprotein E and cholesterol metabolism through lipoprotein receptor LRP1

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 36 out of 100. Neuron 2007-10-01 Genetics

    Mutations in the amyloid precursor protein (APP) cause early-onset Alzheimer's disease (AD), but the only genetic risk factor for late-onset AD is the varepsilon4 allele of apolipoprotein E (apoE), a major cholesterol carrier.
