1	7510321	Organ distribution in rats of two members of the low-density lipoprotein receptor gene family, gp330 and LRP/alpha 2MR, and the receptor-associated protein (RAP).
2	7510321	We investigated immunohistochemically the distribution in rats of the homologous proteins gp330 and the LDL receptor-related protein (LRP/alpha 2MR), and a receptor-associated protein (RAP), and the sites to which soluble exogenous RAP binds.
3	7510321	The only cells that clearly expressed both LRP/alpha 2MR and gp330 were retinal and ciliary epithelial cells.
4	7510321	RAP was found in intracellular vesicles in all cells that expressed gp330 or LRP/alpha 2MR.
5	7510321	Binding sites for RAP were found on the surface of those cells with surface gp330 or LRP, and also throughout the cytoplasm in cells with diffuse cellular LRP/alpha 2MR or gp330.
6	7510321	Because of their different locations, we conclude that gp330 and LRP/alpha 2MR serve distinct functions in vivo, despite similarities in ligand-binding properties observed in vitro.
7	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.
8	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.
9	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.
10	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.
11	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.
12	8623929	There is considerable evidence that glomerular deposits in Heymann nephritis, a rat model of membranous nephritis, result from shedding of immune complexes formed on podocytes and that the principal antigen is part of the extracellular domain of a cell surface glycoprotein receptor called gp330 or megalin.
13	8623929	It has also been reported that the immunogen that induces Heymann nephritis is a complex formed between gp330 and the receptor-associated protein RAP.
14	8623929	The recent elucidation of the primary structure of gp330 makes it possible to investigate the ability of defined portions of gp330, devoid of RAP, to induce Heymann nephritis.
15	8623929	In the present study we show that a gp330-glutathione-S-transferase fusion protein, containing 137 amino acid residues (1114 to 1250) of the ectodomain, induces active Heymann nephritis and that heterologous antibodies against this fusion protein produce passive Heymann nephritis.
16	8623929	Furthermore, we found that RAP was able to bind to gp330 in the glomerular deposits but not to the gp330 fusion protein in vitro.
17	8623929	The results show that the region of gp330 spanning amino acid residues 1114 to 1250 contains peptides capable of inducing pathogenic antibodies of Heymann nephritis without a contributory role of RAP.
