This allele, which encodes lethal(2) giant larvae protein homolog 1 protein, plays a role in the regulation of mitotic spindle orientation, cell proliferation, neuroepithelial cell differentiation, tumor suppression and cytoskeletal maintenance. Aberrant expression of the gene is associated with the progression of both colorectal cancers and melanoma.
