Rabbit Anti-LRRC6/FITC Conjugated antibody
background:
The leucine-rich repeat-containing protein 6 (LRRC6), also designated Leucine-rich testis-specific protein (LRTP), is a 466 amino acid protein that contains 3 LRR repeats and plays a role in spermatogenesis. The gene encoding LRRC6 maps to chromosome 8, which encodes approximately 800 genes. Translocation of portions of chromosome 8 with amplifications of the c-Myc gene are found in some leukemias and lymphomas, and typically associated with a poor prognosis. Chromosome 8 is also associated with Trisomy 8, Pfeiffer syndrome, congenital hypothyroidism and Waardenburg syndrome.
Function:
May play a role in dynein arm assembly, hence essential for proper axoneme building for cilia motility.
Subcellular Location:
Cytoplasm. Cell projection > cilium.
Tissue Specificity:
Expressed predominantly in testis and in nasal epithelial cells.
DISEASE:
Defects in LRRC6 are the cause of primary ciliary dyskinesia 19 (CILD19) [MIM:614935]. A disorder characterized by abnormalities of motile cilia. Respiratory infections leading to chronic inflammation and bronchiectasis are recurrent, due to defects in the respiratory cilia; reduced fertility is often observed in male patients due to abnormalities of sperm tails. Half of the patients exhibit randomization of left-right body asymmetry and situs inversus, due to dysfunction of monocilia at the embryonic node. Primary ciliary dyskinesia associated with situs inversus is referred to as Kartagener syndrome.
Similarity:
Belongs to the tilb protein family.
Contains 1 CS domain.
Contains 4 LRR (leucine-rich) repeats.
Contains 1 LRRCT domain.
