Anti-LRRC40 Antibody Picoband® Fluoro550 Conjugated

Leucine rich repeat containing 40 (LRRC40) is a protein that in humans is encoded by the LRRC40 gene. The leucine-rich (LRR) repeat is a 20-30 amino acid motif that forms a hydrophobic α/β horseshoe fold, allowing it to accommodate several leucine residues within a tightly packed core. All LRR repeats contain a variable segment and a highly conserved segment, the latter of which accounts for 11 or 12 residues of the entire LRR motif. The primary function of these motifs is to provide a versatile structural framework to mediate the formation of protein-protein interactions. LRRs are present in a variety of proteins with diverse structure and function, including innate immunity and nervous system development. Several human diseases are associated with mutations in genes encoding LRR-containing proteins. LRRC40 (leucine rich repeat containing 40) is a 602 amino acid protein that contains 20 LRR (leucine-rich) repeats.
