Preparation and Storage

Background: LGI2

LGI2 (leucine-rich, glioma-inactivated 2) is an approximately 100 kDa secreted glycoprotein in the LGI family of LRR (leucine-rich repeat) proteins. LGI2 cDNA encodes a 28 amino acid (aa) signal sequence and a 517 aa mature protein with 5 LRR domains and 7 EAR (epilepsy-associated repeat) domains. It is mainly expressed in various regions of the brain and spinal cord, but mRNA is also found in the heart and placenta. Mutation or deletion of LGI2 is associated with the temporal lobe epilepsy syndrome PEPS (partial epilepsy with pericentral spikes). Within aa 29-276, human LGI2 shares 99% aa sequence identity with mouse and rat LGI2, provided a 23 aa gap and a 32 aa insertion in mouse LGI2 at sites corresponding to human aa 139 and aa 218, respectively, are disregarded.
