Background
LASS2, a human homologue of the yeast longevity assurance gene LAG1 is highly expressed in liver and kidney as compared to the expression of the human LAG1 homologue LAG1Hs-1. LASS2 is located on chromosome 1q11. The LASS2 protein interacts with several membrane-associated receptors or transporters. LASS2 protein inhibits the colony formation of human hepatoma cells in vitro, which suggests that this gene may be involved in the regulation of cell growth.

Synonyms: LAG1 longevity assurance homolog 2, Tumor metastasis-suppressor gene 1 protein, SP260
