    GlossaryLeucine-rich repeat-containing G-protein coupled receptor

    protein on cell surface involved in cell signaling

    Leucine-rich repeat-containing G-protein coupled receptors (LGRs) are a type of protein found on the surface of cells that play a crucial role in cell signaling. They are involved in various biological processes, including hormone regulation and development, by transmitting signals from outside the cell to the inside. These receptors are characterized by the presence of leucine-rich repeats, which are specific sequences of amino acids that help the receptor bind to its specific ligands.
