SUBCELLULAR LOCALIZATION

plasma membrane

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

ANIMAL & CELL MODELS

Ly9-deficient mice spontaneously developed features of systemic autoimmunity such as the production of anti-nuclear antibodies (ANA), -dsDNA, and -nucleosome autoantibodies
