LANCL1 Proteins and Enzymes

The LANCL1 gene encodes a peripheral membrane protien related to the LanC family protiens that are invoved in the biosynthesis of antimicrobial peptides. Previously, this protein was thought to be a part of the G-protien-coupled receptor superfamily, but it has been found that it is indeed in the LanC family. The protien might play a role as a peptide-modifying enzyme in eukaryotic cells.
