LRP5 (Low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 5) is a gene. In the public catalogues the evidence so far is association rather than a proven role. This dossier gathers the 0 products (0 approved), 0 trials, 0 pathways and 0 resistance routes in the corpus that involve it, with external identifiers so it can be joined to UniProt, ChEMBL, Open Targets and the rest of biology.

Biology

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 signalling pathway that controls cell fate determination and self-renewal during embryonic development and adult tissue regeneration. In particular, may play an important role in the development of the posterior patterning of the epiblast during gastrulation. During bone development, regulates osteoblast proliferation and differentiation thus determining bone mass. Mechanistically, the formation of the signalling complex between Wnt ligand, frizzled receptor and LRP5 coreceptor promotes the recruitment of AXIN1 to LRP5, stabilising beta-catenin/CTNNB1 and activating TCF/LEF-mediated transcriptional programs. Acts as a coreceptor for non-Wnt proteins, such as norrin/NDP. Location: Membrane; Endoplasmic reticulum (UniProt). Locus 11q13.2 (HGNC).
