Lgr6 Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable Roundabout binding activity and heparin binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including axon guidance; negative chemotaxis; and positive regulation of Wnt signaling pathway. Predicted to act upstream of or within bone regeneration and cell population proliferation. Predicted to be located in vesicle. Orthologous to human LGR6 (leucine rich repeat containing G protein-coupled receptor 6). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

Protein Domains
A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in rat Lgr6 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
