VLDLR (Very Low Density Lipoprotein Receptor) is a Protein Coding gene. Diseases associated with VLDLR include Cerebellar Hypoplasia And Mental Retardation With Or Without Quadrupedal Locomotion 1 and Cerebellar Hypoplasia. Among its related pathways are Metabolism and Lipoprotein metabolism. The low density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR) gene family consists of cell surface proteins involved in receptor-mediated endocytosis of specific ligands. VLDLR encodes a lipoprotein receptor that is a member of the LDLR family and plays important roles in VLDL-triglyceride metabolism and the reelin signaling pathway. Alternative splicing generates multiple transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms for VLDLR.
