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.

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 .
This gene encodes a member of the Ly-6/neurotoxin gene family, a group of lymphocyte antigens that attach to the cell surface by a glycosylphosphatidylinositol anchor and have a unique structure showing conserved 8-10 cysteine residues with a characteristic spacing pattern.
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.
[39] [38] Hypomethylation of a specific L1 located in the MET onco gene is associated with bladder cancer tumorogenesis, [40] Shift work sleep disorder [41] is associated with increased cancer risk because light exposure at night reduces melatonin, a hormone that has been shown to reduce L1-induced genome instability.
In molecular biology and genetics, DNA annotation or genome annotation is the process of describing the structure and function of the components of a genome, [2] by analyzing and interpreting them in order to extract their biological significance and understand the biological processes in which they participate.
