Anti-LGI4 / Leucine-rich repeat LGI family member 4

0.5mg/ml if reconstituted with 0.2ml sterile DI water. The leucine-rich, glioma inactivated gene 4 (LGI4) is a member of the LGI family. The LGI family consists of four of highly related proteins containing leucine-rich repeats (LRRs). Despite its high homology with LGI1 and similar pattern of expression, mutations in LGI4 have not been found to be associated with autodominant lateral temporal epilepsy (ADTLE). However, the LGI4 gene is located in a region linked to benign familial infantile convulsions and a GC-to-AT polymorphism in LGI4 was correlated with childhood absence epilepsy. Other studies showed that decreasing LGI4 expression in cultured cells inhibits myelination, indicating that LGI4 may play a role in neural development. Protein function: Component of Schwann cell signaling pathway(s) that controls axon segregation and myelin formation. [The UniProt Consortium]
