Secondary Information
Presence in other biological fluids/tissue/cells	serum, hepatocytes
Protein Function	a serum protein which has been implicated in angiogenesis and tumor promotion; expression increases in response to mediators of the acute-phase response and bacterial infections; roles in cell survival, migration, invasion, and apoptosis
Biochemical Properties	single polypeptide chain; multiple binding partners; binds to cytochrome c and TGFβ1; amino acid sequence can be exactly divided into 13 segments of 24 residues each, eight of which exhibit a periodic pattern in the occurrence of leucine, proline, and asparagine
Significance in milk	Found in whey; Has a role in inflammation
PTMs	has two intrachain disulfide bonds; one galactosamine and four glucosamine oligosaccharides attached;
Site(s) of PTM(s) N-glycosylation, O-glycosylation, Phosphorylation
Significance of PTMs	disulfide bond and the carbohydrate suggest that LRG is a membrane-derived or membrane-associated protein containing a series of domains capable of bipolar surface orientation
