Also known as KIAA1365densin-180
Summary
LRRC7 (leucine rich repeat containing 7, HGNC:18531) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 1p31.1, encoding Leucine-rich repeat-containing protein 7 (Q96NW7). Required for normal synaptic spine architecture and function.
Predicted to enable protein kinase binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including establishment or maintenance of epithelial cell apical/basal polarity; positive regulation of neuron projection development; and protein localization to membrane. Located in several cellular components, including centrosome; cytosol; and nucleoplasm. Implicated in cocaine dependence.

Enriched among interaction partners
Reactome pathways and GO biological processes over-represented among this gene’s 188 IntAct physical interaction partners (hypergeometric vs the genome-wide background, BH-FDR, gene-set size 15–500, ranked by fold). A functional readout of the neighbourhood — distinct from this gene’s own memberships above, and biased toward well-studied / hub proteins, so read it as themes rather than proof.
