Ly6 proteins are characterized by the LU domain.Typically, they contain one LU domain, but some members of the family have multiple LU domains.The LU domain consists of 60-80 AA and contains 10 cysteines arranged in a specific pattern that allows the creation of 5 disulfide bridges which in turn allow the formation of a three-fingered (3F) structural motif.

Function LY6G6E belongs to a cluster of leukocyte antigen-6 (LY6) genes located in the major ...
Lymphocyte antigen 6E is a protein that in humans is encoded by the LY6E gene. [5] [6] [7] Increased expression of Ly6E is associated with poor survival outcome in multiple malignancies as determined by a survey of more than 130 published clinical studies of gene expression studies on cancer tissue samples and adjacent normal tissues.

This gene may also play a role in the pathogenesis of psoriasis vulgaris. [5] The LYNX1 gene codes for a protein (Lynx1) that binds to acetylcholine receptors in the brain. [6] Lynx1 a member of the Ly6 superfamily of proteins that are capable of modulating neurotransmitter receptors. [7]
The LU domain (Ly-6 antigen/uPAR) is an evolutionarily conserved protein domain of the three-finger protein superfamily. This domain is found in the extracellular domains of cell-surface receptors and in either GPI-anchored or secreted globular proteins, for example the Ly-6 family, CD59, and Sgp-2.
The human CD59 protein, which regulates the complement system. [7]The Ly6/uPAR family broadly describes a gene family containing three-finger protein domains that are not toxic and not venom components; these are often known as LU domains and can be found in the extracellular domains of cell-surface receptors and in either GPI-anchored or secreted globular proteins.
CD59 glycoprotein, also known as MAC-inhibitory protein (MAC-IP), membrane inhibitor of reactive lysis (MIRL), or protectin, is a protein that in humans is encoded by the CD59 gene. [5] It is an LU domain and belongs to the LY6/uPAR/alpha-neurotoxin protein family. [6] CD59 attaches to host cells via a glycophosphatidylinositol (GPI) anchor.
A duplication of the gene has been detected in a case study of two individuals with severe intellectual disability, suggesting its role in proper brain development and cognitive function. [10] Additionally, the protein demonstrates high expression in several other normal organs including the testis , lungs , stomach , and prostate .
