LY6G5C

lymphocyte antigen 6 family member G5C

LY6G5C belongs to a cluster of leukocyte antigen-6 (LY6) genes located in the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class III region on chromosome 6. Members of the LY6 superfamily typically contain 70 to 80 amino acids, including 8 to 10 cysteines. Most LY6 proteins are attached to the cell surface by a glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI) anchor that is directly involved in signal transduction (Mallya et al., 2002 ).

AD Risk Scores

About AD Risk Scores

The TREAT-AD Center at Emory-Sage-SGC has developed a Target Risk Score (TRS) to objectively rank the potential involvement of specific genes in AD. The TRS is derived by summing two component risk scores, the Genetic Risk Score and the Multi-omic Risk Score, each of which is derived from a meta-analysis of multiple harmonized data sets. More information about the methodology used to define these risk scores is available here.

AD Risk Scores for LY6G5C

The TRS for LY6G5C, along with the component Genetic and Multi-omic Risk Scores, is shown here. The scores for LY6G5C are superimposed on the genome-wide score distributions. If No Data is Currently Available is displayed for a score, that score was not calculated for LY6G5C.

Biological Domain Classification

About Biological Domains

A biological domain represents a standardized area of biology defined by a set of discrete, biologically coherent GO terms. The TREAT-AD Center at Emory-Sage-SGC has defined nineteen biological domains associated with AD, and objectively mapped genes to those biological domains using GO term annotations. More information about the methodology used to define AD biological domains, and to generate genome-wide biological domain mappings, is available here.

Biological Domains for LY6G5C

Select a biological domain on the left to see the list of GO terms that link LY6G5C to it on the right. The percentage value displayed next to the currently selected biological domain indicates the proportion of LY6G5C's total unique GO terms that map to the biological domain. The ratio displayed on the right indicates how many of the biological domain's total GO terms LY6G5C is annotated with.
