Recombinant Human Lethal (2) giant larvae protein homolog 2 (LLGL2), Truncated

Uniprot Id

Q6P1M3

Target Species

Human

Target Name

LLGL2

Target Full Name

LLGL scribble cell polarity complex component 2

Target Function

Part of a complex with GPSM2/LGN, PRKCI/aPKC and PARD6B/Par-6, which may ensure the correct organization and orientation of bipolar spindles for normal cell division. This complex plays roles in the initial phase of the establishment of epithelial cell polarity.

Target Subcellular Location

Cytoplasm. Note=Localized in the perinuclear structure and faintly at the cell-cell contacts sites in the interphase. Localized at the cell periphery during metaphase. Cortical localization in mitotic cells. Found in the lateral region of polarized epithelial cells.

Target Protein Families

WD repeat L(2)GL family

Target Synonyms

HGL; Human giant larvae homolog; L2GL2; L2GL2_HUMAN; Lethal 2 giant larvae protein homolog 2; Lethal giant larvae homolog 2; Lethal(2) giant larvae protein homolog 2; LGL2; LLGL2

Target Background

The lethal (2) giant larvae protein of Drosophila plays a role in asymmetric cell division, epithelial cell polarity, and cell migration. This human gene encodes a protein similar to lethal (2) giant larvae of Drosophila. In fly, the protein's ability to localize cell fate determinants is regulated by the atypical protein kinase C (aPKC). In human, this protein interacts with aPKC-containing complexes and is cortically localized in mitotic cells. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms.
