J Biol Chem 1996, 271:8373-8380. This paper describes the primary structure, ligand specificity and tissue expression of a novel apoE receptor. This new receptor is predominantly expressed in brain and binds apoE-rich βVLDL.

J Biol Chem 1995, 270:15747-15754. The authors show that both LPL and apoE enhance the binding of triglyceride-rich lipoproteins to the VLDL receptor, an effect that has been noted in LRP-mediated uptake of triglyceride-rich lipoproteins.

Using a mutant strain termed restricted ovulator (R/O), the authors revealed that the VLDL receptor plays a critical role in oogenesis. Interestingly, the mis-sense mutation found in R/O hen is exactly the same mutation that was also found in the LDL receptor genes of French Canadian familial hypercholesterolemic patients

Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 1995, 92:8453-8457. This paper describes the phenotype of mice lacking the VLDL receptor. Although the gene disruption did not change the plasma lipoprotein profiles, the knockout mice exhibited a modest decrease in body weight, body mass index, and adipose tissue mass.

J Biol Chem 1995, 270:26550-26557. The importance of this paper is that the VLDL receptor also binds LPL and urokinase-plasminogen activator inhibitor type I complexes with high affinity. The results suggest that the receptor plays a unique role on the vascular endothelium in lipoprotein catabolism by regulating levels of LPL, and in the regulation of fibrinolysis by facilitating the removal of urokinase complexes with its inhibitor.
