Ly6e Gene Summary [Mouse]
Enables acetylcholine receptor binding activity and acetylcholine receptor inhibitor activity. Involved in host-mediated suppression of symbiont invasion. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including acetylcholine receptor signaling pathway; epinephrine secretion; and ventricular cardiac muscle tissue morphogenesis. Predicted to be located in side of membrane and synapse. Predicted to be active in plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; extraembryonic component; genitourinary system; and immune system. Orthologous to human LY6E (lymphocyte antigen 6 family member E). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

Protein Domains
A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in mouse Ly6e often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
