Gene information for LYNX1 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID66004
Official gene symbolLYNX1
Full nameLy6/neurotoxin 1
Aliases,MGC40364,SLURP2,
Gene summaryThis 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. Functional analysis indicates that this protein is not a ligand or neurotransmitter but has the capacity to enhance nicotinic acetylcholine receptor function in the presence of acetylcholine. This gene may also play a role in the pathogenesis of psoriasis vulgaris. Alternatively spliced variants encoding different isoforms have been identified. [provided by RefSeq]
