    basic FUNCTION
  • putatively involved in adhesion reaction between T lymphocyte and accessory cells
  • SLAMF1, CD48, CD84, CD244, LY9, SLAMF6, SLAMF7 play an essential and non-redundant role in the control of humoral immune responses
  • plays a unique role as an inhibitory cell surface receptor regulating the size of the thymic innate CD8(+) T cell pool and the development of invariant NKT cells.
  • LY9 receptor triggers cell intrinsic safeguarding mechanisms to prevent a breach of tolerance, emerging as a new non-redundant inhibitory cell-surface receptor capable of disabling autoantibody responses
  • is a specific marker of normal hepatocytes and plays a potential role in the control of proliferation of HCC cells
  • plays a role during Hepatitis C virus (HCV) entry, likely by enhancing entry of viral particle within hepatocytes
  • CELLULAR PROCESS
    PHYSIOLOGICAL PROCESS
    PATHWAY
    metabolism
    signaling
  • LY9/SLAMF6 signaling mediates increased nuclear abundance and recruitment of RORC to the proximal IL17A promoter, resulting in increased trans-activation and gene expression
