LRP6 mediated signal transduction pathway triggered by tissue plasminogen activator acts through lipid rafts in neuroblastoma cells

LDL receptor–related proteins 6 (LRP6) is a type I transmembrane receptor (C-terminus in cytosol), which appears to be essential in numerous biological processes, since it is an essential co-receptor of Wnt ligands for canonical β-catenin dependent signal transduction. It was shown that tissue plasminogen activator (tPA), physically interacting with LRP6, induces protein phosphorylation, which may have large implication in the regulation of neural processes.
