Description
LRRC32 (Leucine-Rich Repeat Containing 32) is a Protein Coding gene. This gene encodes a type I membrane protein which contains 20 leucine-rich repeats. LRRC32, also known as Glycoprotein A Repetitions Predominant (GARP), has been postulated as a novel surface marker of activated T(regs). LRRC32 is a T(reg)-specific receptor that binds latent TGF-beta and dominantly controls FOXP3 and the regulatory phenotype via a positive feedback loop. It belongs to the LRRC32/LRRC33 family and is broadly expressed in the placenta, lung, and other tissues. Alterations in the chromosomal region 11q13-11q14 are involved in several pathologies. An important paralog of this gene is NRROS.
