Generic protein structure example |
Leucine-rich repeat-containing G-protein coupled receptor 4 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the LGR4 gene.[1][2] LGR4 is known to have a role in the development of the male reproductive tract, eyelids, hair and bone.
Mutations in this gene have been associated to osteoporosis (doi:10.1038/nature12124).
