Combining with a low-density lipoprotein to initiate a change in cell activity. Combining with a lipoprotein to initiate a change in cell activity. A lipoprotein is any conjugated, water-soluble protein in which the nonprotein moiety consists of a lipid or lipids; the lipid may be triglyceride, cholesterol, or phospholipid, or a combination of these. Interacting selectively and non-covalently with low-density lipoprotein, one of the classes of lipoproteins found in blood plasma in many animals (data normally relate to humans). Combining with an extracellular or intracellular messenger to initiate a change in cell activity, and spanning to the membrane of either the cell or an organelle. Interacting selectively and non-covalently with any conjugated, water-soluble protein in which the nonprotein moiety consists of a lipid or lipids.
