epitope corresponding to amino acids 35-90 mapping near the N-terminus of LGI1 of human origin
Modification Notes
As human tumors progress to advanced stages, one genetic alteration that occurs at high frequency is a loss of heterozygosity (LOH) at chromosome 10. Mapping of homozygous deletions on this chromosome led to the isolation of the PTEN (also designated MMAC1 and TEP1), DMBT1 (for deleted in malignant brain tumors 1) and LGI1 (for leucine-rich gene-glioma inactivated 1) candidate tumor suppressor genes. The PTEN gene exhibits a high frequency of mutations in human glioblastomas and is also mutated in other cancers, including sporadic brain, breast, kidney and prostate cancers. Reduced levels of DMBT1 mRNA have been noted in gastrointestinal and esophageal cancers as well as in gliomas. LGI1, which is highly specific for neural tissues, shares homology with several transmembrane and extracellular proteins that function as receptors and adhesion proteins.
