Lymphocyte-activation protein 3 belongs to Ig superfamily and contains 4 extracellular Ig-like domains. The LAG3 gene contains 8 exons. The sequence data, exon/intron organization, and chromosomal localization all indicate a close relationship of LAG3 to CD4. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008] CIViC Summary for LAG3 Gene
Forensic Context
A systematic review of postmortem human brain studies found that the LAG3 protein staining was increased in the hippocampus of suicidal patients with bipolar disorder [Yamamoto et al. DOI:10.3390/Ijms25115750].
