PROTEIN
PHYSICAL PROPERTIES
STRUCTURE
motifs/domains
  • a putative leader peptide
  • a transmembrane segment
  • four extracellular Ig-like domains
  • an immunoreceptor tyrosine-based activation motif (ITAM)
  • a cytoplasmic tail 40 AAs in length with a tyrosine phosphorylation site, found in a consensus-binding motif (YXN) for the Src homology 2 domains of GRB2 and GRB7
  • conjugated GlycoP
    HOMOLOGY
    Homologene
    FAMILY
  • immunoglobin (Ig) superfamily
  • CATEGORY adaptor , receptor
    SUBCELLULAR LOCALIZATION     plasma membrane
    text type I transmembrane protein
    basic FUNCTION
  • putative cell-surface receptor coupling with downstream signal transduction pathways involving GRB2 and GRB7, including the Ras-MAP kinase pathway
  • platelet GRB2-binding membrane adapter
  • ITAM-bearing of Ly6G6F suggests that the molecule plays an important role in cell activation, and LY6G6F expression by erythrocytes potentially have functional overlap potential with thrombocytes

    small molecule
    protein
  • interaction with both GRB2 and GRB7 is mediated through the Src homology 2 domains of these two proteins and is dependent on the phosphorylation of LY6G6F
  • cell & other
    REGULATION
    Other specifically phosphorylated on Tyr-281 in response to platelet activation by GP6, providing a docking site for the adapter GRB2
