Further, it is worth noting that, although the large majority of information related to Lrg1 post transcriptional regulation comes from studies on cancer and other pathological conditions, it is becoming progressively more evident that this may play an important role also in physiology thus explaining some of the discrepancies in mRNA versus protein levels that have been observed, for example, in the liver and adipose tissue [22]. Here, LRG1 is linked to cancer.
