Low density lipoprotein-related protein 1 (alpha-2-macroglobulin receptor), also known as LRP1 or CD91, is a protein forming a receptor found in the plasma membrane of human cells involved in receptor-mediated endocytosis.

[edit] LRP1 and Alzheimer's disease
Neurons require cholesterol to function. Cholesterol is imported into the neuron by the apolipoprotein apoE4 via LRP1 receptors on the cell surface. It thought that a causal factor in Alzheimer's is the malfunction of this process which damages neurons by starving them of cholesterol.[1]
