Endothelial LRP1 regulates metabolic responses by acting as a co-activator of PPARγ

LDL receptor-related protein 1 (LRP1) is an endocytic receptor involved in cell signalling and energy homeostasis. Here Maoet al. demonstrate that endothelial Lrp1 modulates lipid and glucose metabolism by binding the nuclear receptor Pparγ and promoting its transcriptional activity.
