Description AMIGO2 (amphoterin­induced gene and ORF 2), also known as DEGA and Alivin­1, is an approximately 65kD transmembrane cell adhesion protein. It belongs to a family of leucine­rich repeat (LRR) containing proteins that play various roles in nervous system development and function (1, 2). Mature human AMIGO2 consists of a 359aa extracellular domain (ECD) with six LRRs flanked by single LRRNT and LRRCT domains, followed by one immunoglobulin­like domain, a 21aa transmembrane segment, and a 103aa cytoplasmic domain (3­5). Within the ECD, human AMIGO2 shares 89% and 87% aa sequence identity with mouse and rat AMIGO2, respectively. AMIGO2 forms homodimers as well as heterodimers with the related AMIGO and AMIGO3 molecules (3, 6). Within the nervous system, AMIGO2 is transcribed in the cerebrum, hypothalamus, olfactory bulb, retina, hippocampus (pyramidal cells), and cerebellum (granule neurons and Purkinje cells) (3, 4, 7). It is also expressed in the liver, lung, testis, spleen, and small intestine (3, 4). AMIGO2 supports neuron survival, and is down­regulated following pro­apoptotic stimulation (4). Its expression can be up­regulated or down­regulated in a variety of cancers, and anti­sense knockdown of AMIGO2 interferes with tumor cell adhesion to collagen as well as in vivo tumorigenicity (5).
