LRP10 (LDL Receptor-Related Protein 10) is a member of the low-density lipoprotein receptor family. LRP10 is expressed in neurons and has been implicated in endosomal-lysosomal trafficking and protein clearance pathways. Rare coding variants in LRP10 have been associated with an increased risk of Parkinson's disease (PD) and dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB).
LRP10 is a transmembrane receptor protein involved in:
Endosomal Trafficking:
Protein Clearance:
Neuronal Function:
Lipid Metabolism:
| Aspect | Details |
|---|---|
| Inheritance | Risk factor (complex inheritance) |
| Variants | Multiple rare coding variants identified |
| Mechanism | Impaired protein clearance, endosomal dysfunction |
| Population | Found in multiple ethnic groups |
Pathogenic Mechanisms:
LRP10 variants have also been associated with DLB:
| Disease | Relationship |
|---|---|
| Progressive Supranuclear Palsy | Some LRP10 associations reported |
| Frontotemporal Dementia | Possible role in protein clearance |
| Multiple System Atrophy | Under investigation |
LRP10 is expressed in the nervous system:
| Strategy | Status | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Gene therapy | Research | AAV-mediated LRP10 delivery |
| Protein clearance enhancers | Research | Autophagy modulators |
| Endosomal function modulators | Research | Small molecules targeting endosomal trafficking |
