Leucine-rich repeat-containing protein 4 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the LRRC4 gene.

This gene is significantly downregulated in primary brain tumors. The exact function of the protein encoded by this gene is unknown. Also it has been identified as a possible pathogenic gene involved in the neurogenic inflammation in rosacea.
