LRPAP1 wt Allele

**Semantic type:** Gene or Genome

**Definition:** Human LRPAP1 wild-type allele is located in the vicinity of 4p16.3 and is approximately 29 kb in length. This allele, which encodes alpha-2-macroglobulin receptor-associated protein, is involved in chaperone activity for low density lipoprotein (LDL) receptor-related protein (LRP) and related proteins. Mutation of the gene is associated with autosomal recessive myopia 23.
