Background
LGR4 (Leucine-rich repeat- containing G protein-coupled receptor 4) belongs to the superfamily of G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs). It is a 951 amino acid multi-pass membrane protein and has multiple N-terminal leucine-rich repeats, which are important for interaction with the glycoprotein ligands, and 7 transmembrane domains (1,3). LGR4 is highly expressed in the adult human pancreas but also with moderate levels of expression in placenta, kidney, brain and heart (2). LGR4 functions as an orphan receptor that may be involved in physiologic activities throughout the cell. It is overexpressed in various cancer types and is thought to enhance carcinoma invasiveness and metastasis, suggesting an important role in tumor progression.
