The low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein-1 is a multifunctional receptor.
The capacity of IVIg to modulate LRP1 in neurons are thus far unknown.
IVIg protects ischemic neurons by preventing the dephosphorylation of LRP1.
Ischemia decreases LRP1 levels and phosphorylation, and IVIg blocks these effects.
LRP1 supports IVIg in its ability to suppress multiple pro-death signaling pathways.
