LRG is a plasma protein of approximately 50 kDa. LRG consists of 312 amino acids. It has 1 galactosamine and 4 glucosamine oliogosacharides attached and has 2 intrachain disulfide bonds. Leucine comprises 66 of the 312 amino acids, and LRG contains at least eight 24-amino acid leucine-rich repeats. The consensus of these residues, termed leucine-rich repeats (LRR), has been identified as an LRR-containing domain. The primary function of LRRs is to provide versatile structural framework of the formation of protein-protein interactions. LRG is expressed during granulocyte differentiation. Although several family members of the leucine-rich repeat family have been shown to be involved in signal transduction, protein-protein interaction, or cell adhesion and development, a function for LRG remains elusive. LRG has been reported as a biomarker for certain diseases including microbial infections and cancer. LRG can be detected in human neutrophils and progenitor cells, but not in peripheral blood mononuclear cells.Synonyms: LRG, Leucine-rich alpha-2-glycoprotein
