A role of Ly-6A.2 in T lymphocyte activation and development

Braz J Med Biol Res. 1994 Feb;27(2):283-8.

Abstract

Ly-6A.2 is a glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchored protein expressed on the plasma membrane of T lymphocytes. The precise function of this molecule is not known. A role of Ly-6A.2 in T cell signaling is discussed.
