| Primary Identifier | IPR006876 | Type | Family |
| Short Name | LMBR1-like_membr_prot |
| description | This group of proteins have a conserved C-terminal region which is found in LMBR1 and in the lipocalin-1 receptor. LMBR1 was thought to play a role in preaxial polydactyly, but recent evidence now suggests this not to be the case []. Vertebrate members of this family may play a role in limb development []. Lysosomal cobalamin transport escort protein LMBD1 is a lysosomal membrane chaperone required to export cobalamin from lysosome to the cytosol, allowing its conversion to cofactors [, ]. This protein showed homology to the lipocalin membrane receptor (LIMR) []. |
