LRPAP1

Description

The LRPAP1 gene (Low-Density Lipoprotein Receptor-Related Protein Associated Protein 1) encodes a protein that plays a crucial role in lipid metabolism. LRPAP1 interacts with other proteins involved in lipoprotein uptake and transport, influencing cholesterol and triglyceride levels in the blood. Its dysfunction can disrupt these processes, contributing to the development of various diseases.
