ID:LY96_HUMAN DESCRIPTION: RecName: Full=Lymphocyte antigen 96; Short=Ly-96; AltName: Full=ESOP-1; AltName: Full=Protein MD-2; Flags: Precursor; FUNCTION: Cooperates with TLR4 in the innate immune response to bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS), and with TLR2 in the response to cell wall components from Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. Enhances TLR4-dependent activation of NF-kappa-B. Cells expressing both MD2 and TLR4, but not TLR4 alone, respond to LPS. SUBUNIT: Heterogeneous homopolymer formed from homodimers; disulfide-linked. Belongs to the lipopolysaccharide (LPS) receptor, a multi-protein complex containing at least CD14, LY96 and TLR4. Binds to the extracellular domains of TLR2 and TLR4. Ligand binding induces interaction with TLR4 and oligomerization of the complex. INTERACTION: O00206:TLR4; NbExp=3; IntAct=EBI-1539247, EBI-528701; SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Secreted, extracellular space. PTM: N-glycosylated; high-mannose.
The RNAfold program from the Vienna RNA Package is used to perform the secondary structure predictions and folding calculations. The estimated folding energy is in kcal/mol. The more negative the energy, the more secondary structure the RNA is likely to have.

The pictures above may be empty if there is no ModBase structure for the protein. The ModBase structure frequently covers just a fragment of the protein. You may be asked to log onto ModBase the first time you click on the pictures. It is simplest after logging in to just click on the picture again to get to the specific info on that model.
Orthologous Genes in Other Species
Orthologies between human, mouse, and rat are computed by taking the best BLASTP hit, and filtering out non-syntenic hits. For more distant species reciprocal-best BLASTP hits are used. Note that the absence of an ortholog in the table below may reflect incomplete annotations in the other species rather than a true absence of the orthologous gene.
