LRRN2 leucine rich repeat neuronal 2

Gene ID: 10446, updated on 5-Mar-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: GAC1; LRRN5; LRANK1; FIGLER7

Summary

The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the leucine-rich repeat superfamily. This gene was found to be amplified and overexpressed in malignant gliomas. The encoded protein has homology with other proteins that function as cell-adhesion molecules or as signal transduction receptors and is a candidate for the target gene in the 1q32.1 amplicon in malignant gliomas. Two alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding the same protein have been described for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
