Abstract:
:With ever increasing sophistication in molecular biological approaches, the low-density lipoprotein receptor supergene family continues to grow rapidly. From the well-defined key role of these receptors in lipoprotein metabolism, the new members move the field into many different and diverse physiologic and developmental areas. We observe an expansion of the functional spectrum of the family members, which is due to 1) the binding to their extracellular domains of more and more components lacking homology to apolipoproteins, and 2) the recently uncovered interaction of the receptors' cytoplasmic tails with adaptor proteins that are part of signaling pathways. As this review attempts to describe, the task of delineation of the evolutionary history of the gene family may be aided by concepts that consider events, both divergent and convergent, within and between the intra- and extracellular domains.
