1	8223699	Location of gp330/alpha 2-m receptor-associated protein (alpha 2-MRAP) and its binding sites in kidney: distribution of endogenous alpha 2-MRAP is modified by tissue processing.
2	8223699	The alpha 2-macroglobulin receptor-associated protein (alpha 2-MRAP) is a 39 to 44 kDa protein that copurifies with the alpha 2-macroglobulin receptor (alpha 2-MR/LRP) and also with gp330, a highly glycosylated protein located within kidney proximal tubules and glomerular podocytes.
3	8223699	Both gp330 and the alpha 2-macroglobulin receptor are members of the low density lipoprotein receptor family but the physiological ligands for gp330 are unknown.
4	8223699	A series of experiments showed that during incubation of snap-frozen tissues, endogenous alpha 2-MRAP is released in soluble form from its intracellular location (i.e., the RER) and binds to gp330 on the brush border of proximal tubules.
5	8223699	Our results demonstrate: a) that in renal proximal tubule cells, alpha 2-MRAP is located predominantly in the RER, b) that alpha 2-MRAP-binding sites are present on gp330, which is on the proximal tubule brush border, and c) that the apparent brush border localization of alpha 2-MRAP detected in snap-frozen sections is due to an artifactual redistribution of endogenous alpha 2-MRAP that occurs during tissue processing.
