Gene information for LY96 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID23643
Official gene symbolLY96
Full namelymphocyte antigen 96
Aliases,MD-2,MD2,
Gene summaryThis gene encodes a protein which associates with toll-like receptor 4 on the cell surface and confers responsiveness to lipopolysaccyaride (LPS), thus providing a link between the receptor and LPS signaling. Studies of the mouse ortholog suggest that this gene may be involved in endotoxin neutralization. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms.
