Rabbit Anti-LY6E/Stem cell antigen 2 antibody
This gene belongs to the human Ly6 gene family and encodes a glycosylphosphatidyl-inositol (GPI)-anchored cell surface protein. The protein plays an important role in T cell physiology, oncogenesis and immunological regulation. The protein is also involved in modulation of viral infection by coronaviruses, SARS-CoV, MERS-CoV and SARS-CoSLV2. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2021]
Function:
GPI-anchored cell surface protein that regulates T-lymphocytes proliferation, differentiation, and activation. Regulates the T-cell receptor (TCR) signaling by interacting with component CD3Z/CD247 at the plasma membrane, leading to CD3Z/CD247 phosphorylation modulation (By similarity).
Restricts the entry of human coronaviruses, including SARS-CoV, MERS-CoV and SARS-CoSLV2, by interfering with spike protein-mediated membrane fusion (PubMed:32641482).
Tissue Specificity:
Widely expressed, predominantly in liver, kidney, ovary, spleen and peripheral blood Leukocytes.
Similarity:
Contains 1 UPAR/Ly6 domain.
