Function
(Microbial infection) Promotes entry, likely through an enhanced virus-cell fusion process, of various viruses including HIV-1, West Nile virus, dengue virus and Zika virus. In contrast, the paramyxovirus PIV5, which enters at the plasma membrane, does not require LY6E. Mechanistically, adopts a microtubule-like organization upon viral infection and enhances viral uncoating after endosomal escape.
Biological Context
Subcellular Location: Cell membrane (Lipid-anchor, GPI-anchor)
Tissue Specificity: Widely expressed, predominantly in liver, kidney, ovary, spleen and peripheral blood Leukocytes
