A novel receptor, "LDL-receptor related protein-3" ("LRP-3"), is provided, along with encoding nucleic acid. The gene is associated with type 1 diabetes (insulin dependent diabetes mellitus), and experimental evidence provides indication that it is the IDDM susceptibility gene IDDM4. In various aspects the invention provides nucleic acid, including coding sequences, oligonucleotide primers and probes, polypeptides, pharmaceutical compositions, methods of diagnosis or prognosis, and other methods relating to and based on the gene, including methods of treatment of diseases in which the gene may be implicated, including autoimmune diseases, such as glomerulonephritis, diseases and disorders involving disruption of endocytosis and/or antigen presentation, diseases and disorders involving cytokine clearance and/or inflammation, viral infection, elevation of free fatty acids or hypercholesterolemia, osteoporosis, Alzheimer's disease, and diabetes.

L'invention concerne un nouveau récepteur, "protéin-3 liée à un récepteur de LDL" ("LRP-3"), ainsi qu'un acide nucléique de codage. Le gène est associé au diabète de type 1 (diabète sucré insulinodépendant), et des expériences ont démontré qu'il s'agit du gène de susceptibilité d'IDDM, IDDM4. L'invention concerne dans plusieurs aspects un acide nucléique, comprenant des séquences codantes, des amorces et sondes d'oligonucléotides, des polypeptides, des compositions pharmaceutiques, des méthodes de diagnostic et de pronostic, ainsi que d'autres méthodes liées au gène et fondées sur le gène, y compris des méthodes de traitement d'affections pouvant impliquer le gène, dont des affections auto-immunes telles que la glomérulonéphrite, des affections et troubles impliquant une rupture d'endocytose et/ou une présentation de l'antigène, des affections et des troubles impliquant une élimination de cytokine et/ou une inflammation, une infection virale, une augmentation de la quantité d'acides gras libres ou hypercholestérolémie, une ostéoporose, la maladie d'Alzheimer et le diabète.
