By searching databases for genes similar to LRRN6A (LINGO1; 609791), Carim-Todd et al. (2003) identified LRRN6B. The deduced 647-amino acid protein, which they designated LERN2, has an N-terminal leucine-rich repeat (LRR) domain, followed by 9 typical LRR domains, a C-terminal LRR domain, an IgC2 domain, a transmembrane domain, and a cytoplasmic tail. It shares 53% amino acid identity with LRRN6A.
By genomic sequence analysis, Carim-Todd et al. (2003) mapped the LRRN6B gene to chromosome 19.
