Vldlr Gene Summary [Mouse]

Enables reelin receptor activity. Involved in several processes, including nervous system development; positive regulation of dendrite development; and reelin-mediated signaling pathway. Acts upstream of or within positive regulation of protein kinase activity. Located in extracellular space. Is active in glutamatergic synapse. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; genitourinary system; sensory organ; and skeleton. Used to study age related macular degeneration 1. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Alzheimer's disease; cerebellar ataxia, impaired intellectual development, and dysequilibrium syndrome 1; and dementia. Orthologous to human VLDLR (very low density lipoprotein receptor). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

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 mouse Vldlr often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
