Abstract

Background: Neuronally LRP1-deficient mice show severe neurological signs and symptoms. Results: Neuronal LRP1 is cleaved by -secretase and regulates NMDA-dependent signaling and protein turnover. Conclusion: LRP1 modulates postsynaptic protein complexes and thus has the potential to influence synaptic transmission. Significance: This might explain why neuronal LRP1 is essential in vivo and shed light on its genetic association with neurodegenerative disease (i.e. Alzheimer disease).
