Lrp5low density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 5ENSMUSG00000024913protein-codingLRP5_MOUSEAlphaFold
Function: Acts as a coreceptor with members of the frizzled family of seven-transmembrane spanning receptors to transduce signal by Wnt proteins. Activates the canonical Wnt signaling pathway that controls cell fate determination and self-renewal during embryonic development and adult tissue regeneration (PubMed:11956231). In particular, may play an important role in the development of the posterior patterning of the epiblast during gastrulation (PubMed:15142971). During bone development, regulates osteoblast proliferation and differentiation thus determining bone mass (PubMed:11956231). Mechanistically, the formation of the signaling complex between Wnt ligand, frizzled receptor and LRP5 coreceptor promotes the recruitment of AXIN1 to LRP5, stabilizing beta-catenin/CTNNB1 and activating TCF/LEF-mediated transcriptional programs (By similarity). Acts as a coreceptor for non-Wnt proteins, such as norrin/NDP. Binding of norrin/NDP to frizzled 4/FZD4-LRP5 receptor complex triggers beta-catenin/CTNNB1-dependent signaling known to be required for retinal vascular development (By similarity). Plays a role in controlling postnatal vascular regression in retina via macrophage-induced endothelial cell apoptosis (PubMed:11956231). {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:O75197, ECO:0000269|PubMed:11956231, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15142971}.
Subcellular Location: Membrane {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12581525}; Single-pass type I membrane protein {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12581525}. Endoplasmic reticulum {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12581525}. Note=Chaperoned to the plasma membrane by MESD. {ECO:0000250}.
