Ly6/neurotoxin 1 |
| Gene Summary |
This gene encodes a GPI-anchored, cell membrane bound member of the Ly6/uPAR (LU) superfamily of proteins containing the unique three-finger LU domain. This protein interacts with nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs), and is thought to function as a modulator of nAChR activity to prevent excessive excitation. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been found for this gene. Read-through transcription between this gene and the neighboring downstream gene (SLURP2) generates naturally-occurring transcripts (LYNX1-SLURP2) that encode a fusion protein comprised of sequence sharing identity with each individual gene product.
