LYPD6B (Ly6/PLAUR domain-containing protein 6B) is a glycosyl-phosphatidylinositol (GPI)-linked cell surface glycoprotein. A variety of GPI-linked surface glycoproteins are composed of one or more copies of a conserved domain of ~100 amino-acid residues termed u-PAR/Ly-6 motif that was originally found in u-PAR (Urokinase plasminogen activator surface receptor) and Ly-6/CD59. The u-PAR/Ly-6 (UL) motif has 10 conserved cysteines with a defined disulfide-bonding pattern. LYPD6B contains 1 copy of  u-PAR/Ly6 motifs in the extracellular domain (ECD).  LYPD6B acts as a modulator of nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) function in the brain and inhibits nicotine-induced Ca2+ influx through nAChRs. LYPD6B acts on nAChRs in a subtype- and stoichiometry-dependent manner. It modulates specifally alpha-33:beta-42 nAChRs by enhancing the sensitivity to ACh, decreasing ACh-induced maximal current response and increasing the rate of desensitization to ACh. LYPD6B has no effect on alpha-7 homomeric nAChRs. It also modulates alpha-32:alpha-5:beta-42 nAChRs in the context of CHRNA5/alpha-5 variant Asn-398 but not its wild-type sequence.

Product Details

 

Gene Symbol: LYPD6B; CT116; LYPD7

 

NCBI Gene ID: 130576

 

Uniprot Entry: Q8NI32

 

Construct Details: Full length human LYPD6B gene is subcloned into the Lentiviral expression vector pLTC with an upstream CMV promoter and with or without a selection marker, which can be used for both transient and stable expression in mammalian cells.  It can be co-transfected with the LentiPAK DNA mix (SKU# LP-001) into HEK293 cells to produce high titer lentiviral particles. Multiple choices of a stable antibiotic selection marker are available.

 

Vector Type: pLTC or pLTC-IRES-Marker (lentiviral expression vector containing a heterologous CMV promoter +/- a selection marker, see the vector map above)

 

Formulation: Supplied with 10 μg of endotoxin-free plasmid DNA at 200 ng/μl in sterile TE buffer (pH8.0)

 

Gene Insert Size: 552 (bp)

Primers: Gene insert coding sequence can be confirmed by following primers:

(a) forward (or 5'-end) primer: 5’-CAAATGGGCGGTAGGCGTG-3’;

(b) reverse (or 3'-end) primer: 5’-CCAGGTTTCCGGGCCCTCAC-3’

 

 

Note: The sequence may vary due to the naturally occurring variants or mutations, such as single nucleotide polymorphism, or the artifact during PCR amplification.  High fidelity PCR systems should always be used.
