UniProt functional annotation for Q9Y2I2

UniProt code: Q9Y2I2.

Organism: Homo sapiens (Human).
Taxonomy: Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Primates; Haplorrhini; Catarrhini; Hominidae; Homo.
 
Function: Involved in controlling patterning and neuronal circuit formation at the laminar, cellular, subcellular and synaptic levels. Promotes neurite outgrowth of both axons and dendrites. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:21946559}.
 
Subunit: Interacts with NGL1. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:14595443, ECO:0000269|PubMed:21946559}.
Subcellular location: Cell membrane {ECO:0000269|PubMed:21946559}; Lipid-anchor, GPI-anchor {ECO:0000269|PubMed:21946559}; Extracellular side {ECO:0000269|PubMed:21946559}.
Tissue specificity: Highly expressed in the thalamus, with very low expression, if any, in other tissues. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:14595443, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15901489}.
Domain: The laminin N-terminal domain mediates 1:1 binding to NGL ligand with sub-micromolar affinity. Three NGL-binding loops mediate discrimination for LRRC4C/NGL1 among other NGLs by binding specifically to its LRR repeats. This specificity drives the sorting of a mixed population of molecules into discrete cell surface subdomains.
Ptm: N-glycosylated. {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q8R4G0}.
Miscellaneous: [Isoform 3]: Mostly expressed in adult brain.
Miscellaneous: [Isoform 1]: Hi expression in Expressed in brain and. {ECO:0000305}.
Miscellaneous: [Isoform 4]: Mostly expressed in kidney, also expressed in adult and fetal brain. {ECO:0000305}.
Miscellaneous: [Isoform 5]: Some expression in fetal brain. {ECO:0000305}.
Sequence caution: Sequence=BAA76820.2; Type=Erroneous initiation; Note=Extended N-terminus.; Evidence={ECO:0000305};
