Ly9 Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to be involved in T-helper 17 cell lineage commitment and positive regulation of interleukin-17 production. Predicted to be located in cell surface and plasma membrane. Predicted to be active in external side of plasma membrane. Orthologous to human LY9 (lymphocyte antigen 9). [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 rat Ly9 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
- extracellular domain
- cytoplasmic domain
- immunoglobulin domain
- cytosolic tail domain
- Immunoglobulin V-set domain
- tyrosine-based motif
- Grb2 binding domain
