Type: | Family | Name: | LMBR1-like membrane protein |
Description: | This group of uncharacterised proteins have a conserved C-terminal region which is found in LMBR1 and in the lipocalin-1 receptor. LMBR1 was thought to play a role in preaxial polydactyly, but recent evidence now suggests this not to be the case []. Vertebrate members of this family may play a role in limb development []. A member of this family has been shown to be a lipocalin membrane receptor []. | Short Name: | LMBR1-like_membr_prot |
