Ly96 Gene Summary [Mouse]
Predicted to enable lipopolysaccharide immune receptor activity. Involved in cellular response to lipopolysaccharide; positive regulation of tumor necrosis factor production; and toll-like receptor 4 signaling pathway. Acts upstream of or within positive regulation of lipopolysaccharide-mediated signaling pathway. Part of lipopolysaccharide receptor complex. Is expressed in several structures, including extraembryonic component; gonad; immune system; integumental system; and nervous system. Orthologous to human LY96 (lymphocyte antigen 96).

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 Ly96 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
