The LRP5 gene provides instructions for making a protein that is embedded in the outer membrane of many types of cells. This protein is known as a co-receptor because it works with another receptor protein, frizzled-4 (produced from the FZD4 gene), to transmit chemical signals from outside the cell to the cell's nucleus. Frizzled-4 and the LRP5 protein participate in the Wnt signaling pathway, a series of steps that affect the way cells and tissues develop. Wnt signaling is important for cell division (proliferation), attachment of cells to one another (adhesion), cell movement (migration), and many other cellular activities.

The LRP5 gene provides instructions for making a protein that is embedded in the outer membrane of many types of cells. This protein is known as a co-receptor because it works with another receptor protein, frizzled-4 (produced from the FZD4 gene), to transmit chemical signals from outside the cell to the cell's nucleus.

Wnt signaling is important for cell division (proliferation), attachment of cells to one another (adhesion), cell movement (migration), and many other cellular activities.
The LRP5 protein plays an important role in the development and maintenance of several tissues. During early development, it helps guide the specialization of cells in the retina, which is the light-sensitive tissue that lines the back of the eye. The LRP5 protein is also involved in forming blood vessels in the retina and in the inner ear. Additionally, this protein helps regulate bone mineral density, which is a measure of the amount of calcium and other minerals in bones. The minerals give the bones strength, making them less likely to break.

Hipercolesterolemia familiar
Familial ... There are three main genes that can be involved in FH: LDL receptor genes: this is the most common faulty gene in FH. It means there aren't enough LDL receptors, so cholesterol builds up in the blood. APOB gene (apolipoprotein B): a fault with this gene means LDL cholesterol can’t bind well to LDL receptors so that blood levels of LDL.
