Reeler/Disabled-like disruption of neuronal migration in knockout mice lacking the VLDL receptor and ApoE receptor 2.

TLDR
It is suggested that VLDLR and ApoER2 participate in transmitting the extracellular Reelin signal to intracellular signaling processes initiated by mDab1, a cytosolic protein that activates tyrosine kinases.

Interaction of oestrogen receptor with the regulatory subunit of phosphatidylinositol-3-OH kinase

TL;DR: It is shown that the ER isoform, ERα, binds in a ligand-dependent manner to the p85α regulatory subunit of phosphatidylinositol-3-OH kinase (PI(3)K).

LDL-receptor-related proteins in Wnt signal transduction

TL;DR: In Xenopus embryos, LRP6 activated Wnt–Fz signalling, and induced Wnt responsive genes, dorsal axis duplication and neural crest formation, indicating that LRP 6 may be a component of the Wnt receptor complex.
Journal ArticleDOI

An LDL-receptor-related protein mediates Wnt signalling in mice.

TL;DR: Evidence is presented that a new member of the low-density lipoprotein (LDL)-receptor-related protein family, LRP6, is critical for Wnt signalling in mice, and a genetic enhancement of a Wnt mutant phenotype in mice lacking one functional copy of LRP 6 is shown.
Journal ArticleDOI

LRP: A multifunctional scavenger and signaling receptor

TL;DR: The diverse biological roles of the LRP include functions in lipid metabolism, and also in the homeostasis of proteinases and proteinase inhibitors, cellular entry of viruses and toxins, activation of lysosomal enzymes, cellular signal transduction, and neurotransmission.
Journal ArticleDOI

Apolipoprotein E and its receptors in Alzheimer's disease: pathways, pathogenesis and therapy

TL;DR: There is mounting evidence that APOE4 contributes to AD pathogenesis by modulating the metabolism and aggregation of amyloid-β peptide and by directly regulating brain lipid metabolism and synaptic functions through APOE receptors.

Signaling Through Scaffold, Anchoring, and Adaptor Proteins

TL;DR: The role of scaffold, anchoring, and adaptor proteins that contribute to the specificity of signal transduction events by recruiting active enzymes into signaling networks or by placing enzymes close to their substrates is discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Targeted disruption of the c-src proto-oncogene leads to osteopetrosis in mice

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that src is not required for general cell viability (possibly because of functional overlap with other tyrosine kinases related to src) and an essential role for src in bone formation is uncovered.

A protein related to extracellular matrix proteins deleted in the mouse mutant reeler

TL;DR: The reeler phenotype seems to reflect a failure of early events associated with brain lamination which are normally controlled by reelin.
Journal ArticleDOI

Hypercholesterolemia in low density lipoprotein receptor knockout mice and its reversal by adenovirus-mediated gene delivery.

TL;DR: It is concluded that the LDL receptor is responsible in part for the low levels of VLDL, IDL, and LDL in wild-type mice and that adenovirus-encoded LDL receptors can acutely reverse the hypercholesterolemic effects of LDL receptor deficiency.

Control of Neuronal Precursor Proliferation in the Cerebellum by Sonic Hedgehog

TL;DR: It is shown that Sonic hedgehog (Shh), which is made by Purkinje cells, regulates the division of granule cell precursors (GCPs), and treatment of GCPs with Shh prevents differentiation and induces a potent, long-lasting proliferative response.
