Description:
LY6G5C belongs to a cluster of leukocyte antigen-6 (LY6) genes located in the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class III region on chromosome 6. Members of the LY6 superfamily typically contain 70 to 80 amino acids, including 8 to 10 cysteines. Most LY6 proteins are attached to the cell surface by a glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI) anchor that is directly involved in signal transduction. LY6G5C gene was differentially expressed in megakaryocytes, indicating that the encoded membrane protein could possibly have a modulatory role in platelet function. Genetic variance in LY6G5C gene associated with haematological parameters (e.g., platelet count).
