Comment: I'd say add some context for the general reader at the beginning before leading to the advanced information of the subject. Ktkvtsh (talk) 00:22, 26 August 2024 (UTC)
Comment: This article's references are online databases and two primary studies. It doesn't seem to me to pass WP:GNG, but it also doesn't seem that different to other articles about genes. I would recommend adding some secondary sources, and I'll watch to see other reviewers' views. Mgp28 (talk) 19:18, 8 August 2024 (UTC)
Leucine rich repeat containing 27 (LRRC27) isoform a is a protein which in humans is encoded by the LRRC27 gene.
Gene
[edit]Homo sapiens gene Leucine Rich Repeat containing 27 (LRRC27) is a protein coding gene that is located on chromosome 10 at 10q26.3..[1]. The gene is on the plus (+) strand, and is 8251 base pairs long. The gene has 9 exons [2].
Transcript
[edit]LRRC27 has 45 transcript variants. Transcript variant 2 encodes isoform a in humans. The mRNA sequence for this variant is 8251 base pairs in length [3], and all 9 exons are present.
The LRRC27 transcript has low and variable expression in many tissues, but with notable amounts of the transcript present in the brain, fetal brain, and testis[4] [5]
Protein
[edit]LRRC27 Isoform a in humans is 530 amino acids long with a predicted molecular weight of ~60 kDa and predicted isoelectric point around 9 [6]. It is relatively poor in tyrosine compared to other proteins [7]. LRRC27 is also largely localized in the nucleus of a cell [8].
Domains and Motifs

The protein has 5 leucine rich regions and 2 disordered regions[9]
Structure
[edit]LRRC27 structure is largely helical, with strands present in the leucine rich regions of the protein [10]

Post-Translational Modifications
[edit]LRRC27 has several phosphorylation, o-linked glycosylation, and sumoylation sites that may change its structure post-translationally [11] [12]
Evolution
[edit]Paralogs
[edit]Paralogs for LRRC27 include LRRC7 (Leucine Rich Region Containing 7) and LRCH1 (Leucine Rich Repeats and Calponin Homology Domain Containing 1) [13].

Orthologs
[edit]LRRC27 is widely conserved in mammals, and moderately conserved in certain reptiles, amphibians, fish and birds. There are no orthologs of this LRRC27 gene in invertebrates[14]

Phylogeny/History
[edit]LRRC27 and LRCH1 are neither evolving as quickly as Fibrinogen Alpha nor as slowly as Cytochrome C. LRCH1 appears to also be changing at a slower rate compared to LRRC27.
Clinical Significance
[edit]Enriched LRRC27 expression is present in preeclampsia (PE) [15]. LRRC27 is overexpressed in platelets unique to PE, compared to a healthy pregnancy.
A single nucleotide polymorphism in LRRC27 is also significantly associated with the pathogenesis of primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) [16]. Increased expression of LRRC27 with SNP rs116121322 was shown to be associated with POAG.
