Recombinant Human Lethal (2) giant larvae protein homolog 1 (LLGL1), Truncated

Uniprot Id

Q15334

Target Species

Human

Target Name

LLGL1

Target Full Name

Lethal(2) giant larvae protein homolog 1

Target Function

Cortical cytoskeleton protein found in a complex involved in maintaining cell polarity and epithelial integrity. Involved in the regulation of mitotic spindle orientation, proliferation, differentiation and tissue organization of neuroepithelial cells. Involved in axonogenesis through RAB10 activation thereby regulating vesicular membrane trafficking toward the axonal plasma membrane.

Target Subcellular Location

Early endosome membrane. Golgi apparatus, trans-Golgi network membrane. Golgi apparatus membrane. Cell projection, axon. Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton.

Target Protein Families

WD repeat L(2)GL family

Target Tissue Specificity

Expressed in brain, kidney, and muscle but is barely seen in heart and placenta. Down-regulated or lost in all cell lines and in most of the tumor samples analyzed. Loss was associated with advanced stage of the disease.

Target Background

This gene encodes a protein that is similar to a tumor suppressor in Drosophila. The protein is part of a cytoskeletal network and is associated with nonmuscle myosin II heavy chain and a kinase that specifically phosphorylates this protein at serine residues. The gene is located within the Smith-Magenis syndrome region on chromosome 17.
