LGR5 (Leucine-rich repeat-containing G-protein coupled receptor 5) is a protein that plays a crucial role in the development and maintenance of stem cells in various tissues, including the intestine, stomach, and hair follicles.
LGR5 is overexpressed in various types of cancer, including colorectal, breast, and ovarian cancer. In these cancers, LGR5 has been found to promote the self-renewal and proliferation of cancer stem cells, leading to tumor growth and metastasis.
Inhibiting LGR5 activity has been shown to reduce the growth and self-renewal of cancer stem cells, leading to tumor regression and improved survival in preclinical models.
