The LGI1 gene involved in lateral temporal lobe epilepsy belongs to a new subfamily of leucine‐rich repeat proteins
25 Apr 2002
Abstract excerpt
Recently mutations in the LGI1 (leucine-rich, glioma-inactivated 1) gene have been found in human temporal lobe epilepsy. We have now identified three formerly unknown LGI-like genes. Hydropathy plots and pattern analysis showed that LGI genes encode proteins with large extra- and intracellular domains connected by a single transmembrane region. Sequence analysis demonstrated that LGI1, LGI2, LGI3, and LGI4 form...
