背景信息:
LRFN2 is a 789 amino acid single-pass type I membrane protein belonging to the LRFN family. Encoded by a gene that maps to human chromosome 6p21.2, LRFN2 is moderately expressed in brain, spleen and testis. LRFN2 contains one fibronectin type-III domain, one Ig-like (immunoglobulin-like) domain and six LRR (leucine-rich) repeats. LRFN2 promotes neurite outgrowth in hippocampal neurons, enhances cell surface expression of two NMDA receptor subunits, NMDAΩ1 and NMDAé1, and may play a role in redistributing PSD-95 to cell periphery. LRFN2 forms heteromeric complexes with LRFN1, LRFN3, LRFN4 and LRFN5, and is capable of forming homomeric complexes, but not across cell junctions.
