Function | Binds VLDL and transports it into cells by endocytosis. In order to be internalized, the receptor-ligand complexes must first cluster into clathrin-coated pits. Binding to Reelin induces tyrosine phosphorylation of Dab1 and modulation of Tau phosphorylation (By similarity). {ECO:0000250}. |
Subcellular Location | Membrane; Single-pass type I membrane protein. Membrane, clathrin-coated pit; Single-pass type I membrane protein. |
Tissue Specificity | Abundant in heart and skeletal muscle; also ovary and kidney; not in liver. |
