    GlossaryLeucine-rich repeats and immunoglobulin-like domains protein 1

    protein regulating cell growth and maintaining stem cells

    Leucine-rich repeats and immunoglobulin-like domains protein 1 (Lrig1) is a protein that plays a crucial role in regulating cell growth and maintaining stem cell populations in various tissues, including the skin and hair follicles. It acts as a tumor suppressor and helps control the signaling pathways that can lead to cell proliferation, making it important for both normal tissue maintenance and cancer prevention.
