Alternate Names
  • Low density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 6
Background InformationLow density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 6, also known as LRP6, is a member of the low density Lipoprotein receptor gene family (LDLR). LDLR are cell surface proteins. LRP6 plays a crucial role in embryonic development by functioning as a co-receptor for the Wnt signaling pathway. LRP6 is highly homologous and presents itself as a dimer in the cell membrane until it is phosphlorylated by Wnt. LRP6 has a high affinity with the Dickkopf (DKK) family of antagonists which, when bound, block Wnt. When LRP6 binds to Wnt it is phosphlorated at multiple sites, which results in Axin, a scaffolding protein, being recruited to the cell membrane and β-catenin activation. β-catenin prevents Wnt and LRP6 from binding. LRP6 is associated with autosomal dominant coronary artery disease type 2. Mutations resulting in the omission of the extracellular domain of LPR6 results in constant activity whereas carboxy intracellular domain exclusion has a negative effect, resulting in the blocking of Wnt signaling.

Entrez Gene Number
Entrez Gene SummaryThe LRP6 gene encodes a member of the low density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR) gene family, which consists of cell surface proteins involved in receptor-mediated endocytosis of specific ligands. LDLR proteins are comprised of the same basic structural motifs: an extracellular domain that contains LDLR binding repeats and EGF repeats with associated spacer domains containing the YWTD motif; a single transmembrane-spanning domain; and a C-terminal cytoplasmic domain that generally contains at least 1 copy of the NPXY motif (Brown et al., 1998 [PubMed 9704021]). LRP6 and LRP5 (MIM 603506) function as coreceptors for WNT (MIM 164820) ligands and thus play a role in WNT signaling, which is important in a wide variety of biologic processes during pre- and postnatal life in invertebrates and vertebrates (Kokubu et al., 2004 [PubMed 15469977]).[supplied by OMIM]

UniProt Number
UniProt SummaryFunction: Essential for the Wnt/beta catenin signaling pathway, probably by acting as a coreceptor together with Frizzled for Wnt. Specific high-affinity receptor for DKK1 and DKK2, but not DKK3. The interaction with DKK1 blocks LRP6-mediated Wnt/beta catenin signaling via LRP6 removal via Kremen proteins-mediated endocytosis. Ref.3
Subunit structure Interacts with RSPO1 and RSPO3 By similarity. Interacts with FZD5. Essential component of the Wnt7 receptor complex. Wnt7A interacts with the LRP6/FZD5 complex. This interaction is antagonized by DKK1 and DKK3.
Subcellular location: Membrane; Single-pass type I membrane proteinPotential.
Tissue specificity Widely co-expressed with LRP5 during embryogenesis and in adult tissues.
Domain: The YWTD-EGF-like domains 1 and 2 are required for the interaction with Wnt-frizzled complex. The YWTD-EGF-like domains 3 and 4 are required for the interaction with DKK1. Ref.3
Involvement in disease: Defects in LRP6 are the cause of autosomal dominant coronary artery disease type 2 (ADCAD2) [MIM:610947]. Ref.6
Sequence similarities: Belongs to the LDLR family.
Contains 4 EGF-like domains.
Contains 3 LDL-receptor class A domains.
Contains 20 LDL-receptor class B repeats.
