LYPD6B

Gene
Lypd6b
Protein
Ly6/PLAUR domain-containing protein 6B
Organism
Mus musculus
Length
191 amino acids
Function
Believed to act as a modulator of nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) activity. In vitro acts on nAChRs in a subtype- and stoichiometry-dependent manner. Modulates specifically alpha-3(3):beta-4(2) nAChRs by enhancing the sensitivity to ACh, decreasing ACh-induced maximal current response and increasing the rate of desensitization to ACh; has no effect on alpha-7 homomeric nAChRs.
