There are binding sites for two main groups of transcription factors in the predicted promoter of KIAA1147. The first group consists of elements related to the cell cycle and neuronal development and includes AP-2, NRF1, BRAC, E2F, NEUR, and NRSF.{{Cite web|url=https://www.genomatix.de/online_help/help_eldorado/annotation_analysis_help.html|title=ElDorado: Annotation & Analysis|website=www.genomatix.de|access-date=2018-05-05}} The second consists of elements related to brain insult, including HIFF (hypoxia inducible factor), CREB (cAMP responsive factor linked to ER stress response), GREF (glucocorticoid responsible factor), HEAT (heat shock responsive factor), and HDBP (Huntington's disease regulatory binding protein). In patients with FTD-ALS, there has been reported abnormal upstream CpG methylation of KIAA1147

Interacting proteins

= TGOLN2 =

In affinity chromatography studies, LCHN has been reported to have a physical association with TGOLN2,{{cite journal | vauthors = Huttlin EL, Ting L, Bruckner RJ, Gebreab F, Gygi MP, Szpyt J, Tam S, Zarraga G, Colby G, Baltier K, Dong R, Guarani V, Vaites LP, Ordureau A, Rad R, Erickson BK, Wühr M, Chick J, Zhai B, Kolippakkam D, Mintseris J, Obar RA, Harris T, Artavanis-Tsakonas S, Sowa ME, De Camilli P, Paulo JA, Harper JW, Gygi SP | title = The BioPlex Network: A Systematic Exploration of the Human Interactome | journal = Cell | volume = 162 | issue = 2 | pages = 425–440 | date = July 2015 | pmid = 26186194 | pmc = 4617211 | doi = 10.1016/j.cell.2015.06.043 }}{{cite journal | vauthors = Huttlin EL, Bruckner RJ, Paulo JA, Cannon JR, Ting L, Baltier K, Colby G, Gebreab F, Gygi MP, Parzen H, Szpyt J, Tam S, Zarraga G, Pontano-Vaites L, Swarup S, White AE, Schweppe DK, Rad R, Erickson BK, Obar RA, Guruharsha KG, Li K, Artavanis-Tsakonas S, Gygi SP, Harper JW | title = Architecture of the human interactome defines protein communities and disease networks | journal = Nature | volume = 545 | issue = 7655 | pages = 505–509 | date = May 2017 | pmid = 28514442 | pmc = 5531611 | doi = 10.1038/nature22366 | bibcode = 2017Natur.545..505H }} a surface protein of the Golgi apparatus.{{Cite web|url=https://www.genecards.org/cgi-bin/carddisp.pl?gene=TGOLN2|title=TGOLN2 Gene - GeneCards {{!}} TGON2 Protein {{!}} TGON2 Antibody|last=Database|first=GeneCards Human Gene|website=www.genecards.org|access-date=2018-05-03}} This likely explains immunohistochemical finding of strong LCHN localization near the Golgi apparatus despite being a predicted cytoplasmic protein.

= Kallikreins =

Affinity chromatography studies have also reported a physical association between LCHN and kallikreins KLK5 and KLK11, serine proteases.{{cite journal | vauthors = Kalinska M, Meyer-Hoffert U, Kantyka T, Potempa J | title = Kallikreins - The melting pot of activity and function | journal = Biochimie | volume = 122 | pages = 270–82 | date = March 2016 | pmid = 26408415 | pmc = 4747678 | doi = 10.1016/j.biochi.2015.09.023 }} It is possible that cleavage by these proteases may be relevant to LCHN's function.

= EFNB3 =

LCHN has been reported to be capable of a physical association with EFNB3, an ephrin receptor ligand with reported importance in neuronal development.{{Cite web|url=https://www.genecards.org/cgi-bin/carddisp.pl?gene=EFNB3|title=EFNB3 Gene - GeneCards {{!}} EFNB3 Protein {{!}} EFNB3 Antibody|last=Database|first=GeneCards Human Gene|website=www.genecards.org|access-date=2018-05-03}} This, coupled with the high expression of LCHN in the developing central nervous system, suggests that binding of LCHN to EFNB3 may modulate neuronal development.

Predicted function

= Neuronal insult =

File:LCHN brain development.png

LCHN expression has been reported to be unregulated following ischemic stroke, chronic alcoholism, and cell culture responses of immature and mature dendrites to prolonged hypoxia. Additionally, decreased expression as a result of CpG methylation has been implicated to be pathogenic in patients with FTD-ALS. Within the predicted promoter of KIAA1147, there are predicted binding sites for hypoxia response elements that would accompany ischemic stroke, heat shock proteins, factors related to the glucocorticoid mediated stress response, and cAMP responsive factors related to the ER stress response.{{Cite journal|last1=Xu|first1=Chunyan|last2=Bailly-Maitre|first2=Beatrice|last3=Reed|first3=John C.|date=2005-10-01|title=Endoplasmic reticulum stress: cell life and death decisions|journal=Journal of Clinical Investigation|volume=115|issue=10|pages=2656–2664|doi=10.1172/JCI26373|issn=0021-9738|pmc=1236697|pmid=16200199}} Due to the reported evidence of LCHN upregulation following ischemic stroke, which often results in neuronal damage or death,{{Cite journal|last1=Taoufik|first1=Era|last2=Probert|first2=Lesley|date=2008|title=Ischemic neuronal damage|journal=Current Pharmaceutical Design|volume=14|issue=33|pages=3565–3573|issn=1873-4286|pmid=19075733|doi=10.2174/138161208786848748}} as well presence of several binding sites for factors induced by rapid trauma to the brain, it is likely that KIAA1147 plays a role in the brain’s response to sudden stress and injury.

= Neuronal development =

The presence of the SPA domain within LCHN suggests that it may play a role in cell division. LCHN has been shown to physically associate with EFNB3, a protein with reported importance in neuronal development. A second reported association with SETBP1 may open up the possibility for LCHN to play a role in cell cycle regulation from within the nucleus. The predicted KIAA1147 promoter contains binding sites for cell-division related factors and factors known to have specific expression during neuronal development. RNA in situ hybridization has shown KIAA1147 to be located at high levels in the developing brain. Together, these data suggest that LCHN plays a role in regulating cellular division during development of the brain.

Clinical significance

LCHN has been shown to be upregulated following a number of insults to the brain including the response to chronic alcoholism, immature and mature dendritic response to hypoxia, and ischemic stroke. Recent studies have implicated abnormal CpG methylation of LCHN in FTD-ALS. No disease causing SNPs in LCHN have been reported with high frequency.{{Cite web|url=https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/snp|title=Home - SNP - NCBI|website=www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov|access-date=2018-05-05}}

Homology

File:Animalian LCHN Orthologs.png

File:Non-Animalian LCHN Orthologs.png

There are no reported paralogs of LCHN in humans. LCHN homologs exist in animals dating back to the earliest sponges, with a notable lack of reported expression in Drosophila and C. elegans. There are also a number of LCHN homologs in protists including choanoflagellates, amoeba, and algae, as well as other unicellular eukaryotes including fungi.
