OLR1 Gene Summary [Human]
This gene encodes a low density lipoprotein receptor that belongs to the C-type lectin superfamily. This gene is regulated through the cyclic AMP signaling pathway. The encoded protein binds, internalizes and degrades oxidized low-density lipoprotein. This protein may be involved in the regulation of Fas-induced apoptosis. This protein may play a role as a scavenger receptor. Mutations of this gene have been associated with atherosclerosis, risk of myocardial infarction, and may modify the risk of Alzheimer's disease. Alternate splicing results in multiple transcript variants.[provided by RefSeq, Feb 2010]

Protein Domains
A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in human OLR1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
- C-type lectin (CTL)/C-type lectin-like (CTLD) domain
- Ezrin/radixin/moesin, alpha-helical domain
- Growth-arrest specific micro-tubule binding
- Lectin C-type domain
- Ly49-like protein, N-terminal region
- low-density lipoprotein receptor
- protein binding
- identical protein binding
- Apolipoprotein A1/A4/E domain
