A variety of combinations of leucine-rich repeat (LRR) and immunoglobulin-like (Ig) domains have been found and discovered in invertebrates and vertebrates, but the functions remain largely unexplored. In the present study, a novel LRR and Ig domain-containing protein (LRRIG), CgLRRIG-3, was identif...
