LRP4 in neuromuscular junction and bone development and diseases

Chengyong Shen et al. Bone. 2015 Nov.

Abstract

Low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 4 (LRP4) is a member of the low-density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR) family. Recent studies have revealed multiple functions and complex signaling mechanisms of LRP4 in different organs and tissues. LPR4 mutation or malfunction has been implicated in neurological disorders including congenital myasthenic syndrome, myasthenia gravis, and diseases of bone or kidney. This article is part of a Special Issue entitled "Muscle Bone Interactions".

Keywords: Bone; Low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 4; Myasthenia gravis; Neuromuscular junction.
