LRP1 Antibody (8B8) is a mouse monoclonal IgG1 kappa light chain antibody designed to detect the Low-Density Lipoprotein Receptor-Related Protein 1 (LRP1), also known as the α2-Macroglobulin Receptor (α2MR). LRP1 is a multifunctional endocytic receptor that plays a pivotal role in the internalization of a wide array of ligands, including α2-Macroglobulin and apolipoprotein E (apoE), which are essential for lipid metabolism, protease clearance, and cellular signaling pathways. Structurally, LRP1 is characterized by its extensive extracellular domain composed of multiple clusters of cysteine-rich class A repeats, epidermal growth factor (EGF)-like repeats, YWTD repeats, and an O-linked sugar domain, which are critical for ligand binding and receptor function. Post-translational modifications of LRP1, such as glycosylation and proteolytic cleavage, are crucial for proper folding, trafficking to the cell surface, and the formation of functional membrane and extracellular subunits. These modifications ensure that LRP1 maintains structural integrity and binding affinity, thereby facilitating its role in maintaining cellular homeostasis and mediating endocytosis. LRP1 (8B8) antibody is raised against the light chain of full-length native human LRP1 across multiple species, including mouse, rat, human, and rabbit. LRP1 monoclonal antibody (8B8) is recommended for use in various applications such as western blotting (WB), immunofluorescence (IF), immunohistochemistry (IHC), and flow cytometry (FCM), making it a versatile research tool.
