LLGL2
Function
Part of a complex with GPSM2/LGN, PRKCI/aPKC and PARD6B/Par-6, which may ensure the correct organization and orientation of bipolar spindles for normal cell division. This complex plays roles in the initial phase of the establishment of epithelial cell polarity.
Post-translational modifications
Phosphorylated at Ser-653 by PRKCI. Phosphorylation is enhanced during cell polarization induced by calcium. Phosphorylation may occur during the cell-cell contact-induced cell polarization and may contribute to the segregation of LLGL2 from the PRKCI/aPKC and PARD6B/Par-6 complex.
Sequence Similarities
Belongs to the WD repeat L(2)GL family.
Cellular localization
- Cytoplasm
- Localized in the perinuclear structure and faintly at the cell-cell contacts sites in the interphase. Localized at the cell periphery during metaphase. Cortical localization in mitotic cells. Found in the lateral region of polarized epithelial cells.
