The LRBA gene encodes a multi-domain protein belonging to the WDL-BEACH-WD protein family. The protein is made up of the Plekstrin Homology (PH) like domain, the BEACH domain and the highly conserved WD40 domain. While the exact role of LRBA has not yet been fully elucidated, it is postulated to play a role in regulating the expression of the CTLA4 gene as well as in signal transduction and vesicle trafficking to enable the secretion and membrane deposition of immune effector molecules.
