Human Gene LLGL2 (ENST00000578363.5) Description and Page Index
  Description: Part of a complex with GPSM2/LGN, PRKCI/aPKC and PARD6B/Par-6, which may ensure the correct organization and orientation of bipolar spindles for normal cell division. This complex plays roles in the initial phase of the establishment of epithelial cell polarity. (from UniProt Q6P1M3)

  ID: L2GL2_HUMAN
DESCRIPTION: RecName: Full=Lethal(2) giant larvae protein homolog 2; AltName: Full=HGL;
FUNCTION: Part of a complex with GPSM2/LGN, PRKCI/aPKC and PARD6B/Par-6, which may ensure the correct organization and orientation of bipolar spindles for normal cell division. This complex plays roles in the initial phase of the establishment of epithelial cell polarity.
SUBUNIT: Interacts with GPSM2/LGN, PRKCI/aPKC and PARD6B/Par-6. The complex is enhanced during mitosis.
SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Cytoplasm. Note=Localized in the perinuclear structure and faintly at the cell-cell contacts sites in the interphase. Localized at the cell periphery during metaphase. Cortical localization in mitotic cells. Found in the lateral region of polarized epithelial cells.
PTM: Phosphorylated at Ser-653 by PRKCI. Phosphorylation is enhanced during cell polarization induced by calcium. Phosphorylation may occur during the cell-cell contact-induced cell polarization and may contribute to the segregation of LLGL2 from the PRKCI/aPKC and PARD6B/Par-6 complex.
MISCELLANEOUS: Overexpression of LLGL2 inhibits the tight junction formation.
SIMILARITY: Belongs to the WD repeat L(2)GL family.
SIMILARITY: Contains 14 WD repeats.
