About LRRC2

Cytogenetic location: 3p21.31 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 3:46,515,385-46,566,302 (from NCBI)

This gene has 5 transcripts (splice variants), 192 orthologues and 31 paralogues. Biased expression in heart (RPKM 15.6), thyroid (RPKM 11.1) and 9 other tissues.

Summary

This gene encodes a member of the leucine-rich repeat-containing family of proteins, which function in diverse biological pathways. This family member may possibly be a nuclear protein. Similarity to the Ras suppressor protein, as well as expression down-regulation observed in tumor cells, suggests that it may function as a tumor suppressor. The gene is located in the chromosome 3 common eliminated region 1 (C3CER1), a 1.4 Mb region that is commonly deleted in diverse tumors. A related pseudogene has been identified on chromosome 2.
