Abstract
Proteinases play an important role in biological processes and consequently their activity is carefully regulated. This often occurs by reaction of the proteolytic enzyme with specific inhibitors. Removal of the inhibited proteinase is then accomplished by its interaction with cell surface receptors which mediate its internalization and subsequent degradation. The LDL receptor-related protein/α2M receptor (LRP) is large cell surface receptor that mediates the removal of proteinases and proteinase-inhibitor complexes1–5. In addition, this receptor plays an important role in the hepatic clearance of certain apolipoprotein E- and lipoprotein lipase-enriched lipoproteins6–8. Thus, LRP serves a unique role in biology by virtue of its capacity to mediate the cellular uptake of both proteinases and lipoproteins.
