This gene belongs to the human Ly6 gene family and encodes a glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)anchored cell surface protein. The protein plays an important role in T cell physiology, oncogenesis and immunological regulation. The protein is also involved in modulation of viral infection by coronaviruses, SARSCoV, MERSCoV and SARSCoV2 - Proteine/Peptide
