| 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}; | |
