lipoprotein particle receptor activity

Combining with a lipoprotein particle and delivering the lipoprotein particle into the cell via endocytosis. A lipoprotein particle, also known as a lipoprotein, is a clathrate complex consisting of a lipid enwrapped in a protein host without covalent binding in such a way that the complex has a hydrophilic outer surface consisting of all the protein and the polar ends of any phospholipids.

Term information

comment
  • This term is intended for cell surface receptors that bind and internalize a lipoprotein particle. For members of the lipoprotein receptor family that transduce a signal rather than endocytose their ligand, consider instead the terms 'signaling receptor activity ; GO:0038023' and its children, or 'reelin receptor activity ; GO:0038025'.
