Gene name

APOBR (HGNC Symbol)

Synonyms

APOB100R, APOB48R

Description

Apolipoprotein B receptor (HGNC Symbol)

Entrez gene summary

Apolipoprotein B48 receptor is a macrophage receptor that binds to the apolipoprotein B48 of dietary triglyceride (TG)-rich lipoproteins. This receptor may provide essential lipids, lipid-soluble vitamins and other nutrients to reticuloendothelial cells. If overwhelmed with elevated plasma triglyceride, the apolipoprotein B48 receptor may contribute to foam cell formation, endothelial dysfunction, and atherothrombogenesis.
