Official Full Name: leucine rich pentatricopeptide repeat containing
This gene encodes a leucine-rich protein with multiple pentapeptide repeats (PPRs). The exact role of the protein is unknown, but studies suggest that it may play a role in cytoskeletal organization, vesicle trafficking, or transcriptional regulation of nuclear and mitochondrial genes. The protein is primarily localized to mitochondria and is predicted to have an N-terminal mitochondrial targeting sequence. Mutations in this gene have been associated with Leye syndrome in French Canadians.
