Summary: Predicted to enable Roundabout binding activity; heparin binding activity; and transmembrane signaling receptor activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including metanephric nephron development; regulation of gene expression; and regulation of signal transduction. Predicted to act upstream of or within several processes, including epithelial cell proliferation involved in renal tubule morphogenesis; intestinal stem cell homeostasis; and male genitalia development. Predicted to be located in plasma membrane. Orthologous to human LGR4 (leucine rich repeat containing G protein-coupled receptor 4). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]

What's a GeneRIF?

Low levels of cadmium exposure affect bone by inhibiting Lgr4 expression in osteoblasts and osteoclasts.
Title: Low levels of cadmium exposure affect bone by inhibiting Lgr4 expression in osteoblasts and osteoclasts.
The endogenously expressed Lgr4 may act as an antagonist molecule that helps to fine-tune the R-spondin/norrin-mediated Lgr4-Wnt signaling during gonadal development.
Title: A naturally occurring Lgr4 splice variant encodes a soluble antagonist useful for demonstrating the gonadal roles of Lgr4 in mammals.
These data indicate that Rspo1 and Rspo3 and their receptor LGR4 form novel circuits in the brain to regulate energy homeostasis.
Title: LGR4 and its ligands, R-spondin 1 and R-spondin 3, regulate food intake in the hypothalamus of male rats.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
