Leucine rich repeat and Ig domain containing 1 also known as LINGO-1 is a protein which in humans is encoded by the LINGO1 gene.[1][2]

Structure

LINGO-1 contains an N-terminal leucine-rich repeat (LRR) domain, followed by 9 typical LRR domains, C-terminal LRR domain, an IgC2 domain, a transmembrane domain, and a cytoplasmic tail.[2][3]

LINGO-1 interacts with the Nogo receptor.[3]

Function

LINGO-1 is primarily expressed in neuronal tissue, and most abundantly in cortex. It has been implicated in the inhibition of axon regeneration through a ternary complex formed with NgR1 (ligand-binding subunit) and p75 (signal transducing subunit). The inhibitory action is achieved through RhoA-GTP upregulation in response to the presence of MOG, MAG or Nogo-66 in the central nervous system.[3] LINGO-1 also inhibits oligodendrocyte precursor differentiation and myelination, by a mechanism that also involves activation of RhoA, but which apparently does not require p75 or NgR1.

Recent post mortem studies have evidenced an increase in LINGO1 in the cerebellum of people with essential tremor.[4][5]
