LAR (Leukocyte Antigen Related)

LAR, or Leukocyte Antigen-Related receptor, is a type of protein found on the surface of certain cells, especially in the nervous system and immune system. It plays a crucial role in helping cells communicate, grow, and connect, particularly during development and repair processes. LAR interacts with molecules outside the cell to influence how cells behave, guiding nerve connections and immune responses. Understanding LAR is important for researching neurological functions and diseases, as well as immune system regulation.
