Disease relevance of Lrpprc

  • Moreover, the genetic basis of French-Canadian Leigh syndrome, which confers a loss of mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase and is characterized by neurodegeneration, was recently mapped to a mutation in the LRPPRC gene [1].
 

High impact information on Lrpprc

  • Due to its molecular weight and significant amino acid identity with 'human leucine-rich protein 130'[leucine-rich pentatricopeptide motif containing (LRPPRC)], we termed the cDNA candidate leucine-rich protein 157 (rLRP157) [1].
  • Taken together with its expression in small-diameter sensory neurons, we hypothesize that rLRP157, the rat orthologue of the human LRPPRC, may play a role in the modulation of peripheral pain transduction and serve as a novel marker for nociceptor subtypes [1].
