Cross-Talk among RORal and the Rev-erb Family
... was performed to compare the expression pattern of Rev-erba and Rev-erbp in a variety of mouse tissues (Fig. 3). Rev-erba and Rev-erbp are both widely expressed and share a similar pattern of expression. Highest levels of Rev-erb mRNA were seen in the brain, lung, liver, skeletal muscle, and kidney. ...

VLDL receptor
The very-low-density-lipoprotein receptor (VLDLR) is a transmembrane lipoprotein receptor of the low-density-lipoprotein (LDL) receptor family. VLDLR shows considerable homology with the members of this lineage. Discovered in 1992 by T. Yamamoto, VLDLR is widely distributed throughout the tissues of the body, including the heart, skeletal muscle, adipose tissue, and the brain, but is absent from the liver. This receptor has an important role in cholesterol uptake, metabolism of apoprotein-E-containing triacylglycerol-rich lipoproteins, and neuronal migration in the developing brain. In humans, VLDLR is encoded by the VLDLR gene. Mutations of this gene may lead to a variety of symptoms and diseases, which include type I lissencephaly, cerebellar hypoplasia, and atherosclerosis.
