Identification of the receptor scavenging hemopexin-heme complexes

TL;DR: Heme complexes are removed by a receptor-mediated pathway showing striking similarities to the CD163-mediated haptoglobin-hemoglobin clearance in macrophages, indicating a hitherto unknown role of LRP/CD91 in inflammation.
Journal Article

Identification of the receptor scavenging hemopexin-heme complexes. Commentary

TL;DR: In this article, the human hemopexin-heme receptor was identified as the low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein (LRP)/CD91, a receptor expressed in several cell types including macrophages, hepatocytes, neurons, and syncytlotrophoblasts.
Journal ArticleDOI

The endocytic receptor megalin binds the iron transporting neutrophil-gelatinase-associated lipocalin with high affinity and mediates its cellular uptake

TL;DR: It is shown here that megalin, a member of the low‐density lipoprotein receptor family expressed in polarized epithelia, binds NGAL with high affinity, as shown by surface plasmon resonance analysis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Megalin is a receptor for apolipoprotein M and kidney-specific megalin-deficiency confers urinary excretion of apolipoprotein M.

TL;DR: It is shown that the multiligand receptor megalin, which is expressed in kidney proximal tubule cells, is a receptor for apoM and mediates its uptake in the kidney and that megal in-mediated endocytosis in kidney proxiesimal tubules prevents apo M excretion in the urine.
