LYVE1

Extracellular link domain containing 1, also known as XLKD1 or lymphatic vessel endothelial hyaluronan receptor (LYVE)-1, is a human is_associated_with::gene.

LYVE-1 is a cell surface receptor on is_associated_with::lymphatic endothelial cells that can be used as a lymphatic endothelial cell marker, and sort these cells for experimental purposes. So far the physiological role for this receptor is still the subject of debate, but evolutionary conservation suggests an important role.
