LY6G6E

Lymphocyte antigen 6 complex, locus G6E (pseudogene) is a is_associated_with::protein that in humans is encoded by the LY6G6E is_associated_with::gene.

Function
LY6G6E belongs to a cluster of leukocyte antigen-6 (LY6) genes located in the is_associated_with::major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class III region on is_associated_with::chromosome 6. Members of the LY6 superfamily typically contain 70 to 80 amino acids, including 8 to 10 cysteines. Most LY6 proteins are attached to the cell surface by a is_associated_with::glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI) anchor that is directly involved in is_associated_with::signal transduction (Mallya et al., 2002 [PubMed 12079290]).[supplied by OMIM, Mar 2008].
