LOC198437 Inhibitors

LKAAEAR motif containing 1, abbreviated as LKAAEAR1, is a protein defined by the presence of a specific amino acid sequence motif, the LKAAEAR motif. This sequence is a signature motif that may be involved in protein-protein interactions, localization, or function within the cell. The exact function of LKAAEAR1 is not widely characterized, but the presence of such a motif hints at its potential roles in cellular processes.

Motifs like LKAAEAR are often indicative of a protein's role in signaling pathways or as part of a complex that regulates gene expression, protein stability, or cellular localization. Proteins with unique motifs can serve as docking sites for other proteins, facilitating the assembly of multiprotein complexes, which are crucial in the regulation of diverse cellular functions.The amino acid sequence represented by "LKAAEAR" includes both hydrophobic (leucine, alanine) and charged (lysine, glutamic acid, arginine) residues, suggesting that the motif might be involved in interactions that are sensitive to the conformational state of the protein or the cellular environment, such as changes in pH or the presence of other interacting molecules.
