Official Full Name: leucine rich repeat neuronal 2
Also known as: GAC1; LRRN5; LRANK1; FIGLER7
The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the leucine-rich repeat superfamily. This gene is amplified and overexpressed in malignant gliomas. The encoded protein has homology to other proteins that act as cell adhesion molecules or signal transduction receptors, and is a candidate protein of the 1q32.1 amplicon target gene in malignant glioma. Two alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding the same protein have been described for this gene.
