About LLGL2

Cytogenetic location: 17q25.1 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 17:75,525,002-75,575,209 (from NCBI)

This gene has 22 transcripts (splice variants), 209 orthologues and 3 paralogues. Broad expression in stomach (RPKM 24.5), colon (RPKM 24.0) and 22 other tissues.

Summary

The lethal (2) giant larvae protein of Drosophila plays a role in asymmetric cell division, epithelial cell polarity, and cell migration. This human gene encodes a protein similar to lethal (2) giant larvae of Drosophila. In fly, the protein's ability to localize cell fate determinants is regulated by the atypical protein kinase C (aPKC). In human, this protein interacts with aPKC-containing complexes and is cortically localized in mitotic cells. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms.
