  • type I membrane protein
  • mostly localized at the nucleus of the pituitary adenoma cells
  • basic FUNCTION
  • involved in the translational initiation
  • modulates cell turnover and adhesion in neural support cells via altered growth-factor signaling
  • might have a function different from that of LRIG1, and possibly contributing to the etiology of oligodendroglioma
  • may play an important role in pituitary adenoma invasiveness
  • possible role for LRIG1 and LRIG2 proteins in meningioma pathogenesis
  • required for normal lower-urinary-tract innervation and/or neural function
  • LRIG genes appear to act both redundantly and independently, with LRIG2 emerging as the most functionally distinct family member
  • LRIG2 appears to function as a tumor promoter
  • CELLULAR PROCESS protein, translation/synthesis
