Leucine Rich Repeats And IQ Motif Containing Protein 4 (LRRIQ4)

Leucine Rich Repeats And IQ Motif Containing Protein 4 (LRRIQ4)Contains 1 IQ domain.Contains 20 LRR (leucine-rich) repeats. Evidence at transcript level.

Leucine-rich repeats (LRR) consist of 2-45 motifs of 20-30 amino acids in length that generally folds into an arc or horseshoe shape. LRRs occur in proteins ranging from viruses to eukaryotes, and appear to provide a structural framework for the formation of protein-protein interactions. Proteins containing LRRs include tyrosine kinase receptors, cell-adhesion molecules, virulence factors, and extracellular matrix-binding glycoproteins, and are involved in a variety of biological processes, including signal transduction, cell adhesion, DNA repair, recombination, transcription, RNA processing, disease resistance, apoptosis, and the immune response.
