Ligand dependent nuclear receptor corepressor like is a protein that in humans is encoded by the LCORL gene .
[1]
Function This gene encodes a transcription factor that appears to function in spermatogenesis . Polymorphisms in this gene are associated with measures of skeletal frame size and adult height. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.
