PHYSICAL PROPERTIES

motifs/domains
  • N-terminal signal peptide resulting in extracellular localization of the LRR domain
  • a short cytoplasmic C-terminal tail containing a short stretch of acidic residues
  • HOMOLOGY
    intraspecies paralog to LRRC52, LRRC26, LRRC38
    Homologene
    FAMILY
    CATEGORY transport channel
    SUBCELLULAR LOCALIZATION     plasma membrane
    basic FUNCTION
  • LRRC52, LRRC55, and LRRC38 potentially function as LRRC26-type auxiliary subunits of BK channels
  • LRRC26 and its paralogs are structurally and functionally distinct from the beta-subunits and are a gamma family of the BK channel auxiliary proteins, which potentially regulate the channel gating properties over a spectrum of different tissues or cell types

    a component
  • belongs to an extracellular leucine-rich-repeat–only (Elron) cluster, which includes five other LRRC proteins: LRRC38, LRRC52, LRRC55, LRTM1 and LRTM2
