Background: Ly6K

Lymphocyte antigen 6 complex, locus K (Ly6K) is a member of the LY6/urokinase-type plasminogen activator receptors (uPARS) family which participate in a wide range of functions from cell proliferation and migration to cytokine production (1). In humans, there are over 30 Ly6/uPARS members, characterized by a conserved, three-fingered disulfide linked LU domain that creates structural motif and a glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchoring site (2, 3). Members of the family are categorized as transmembrane or secretory depending on the presence of a GPI-anchored signal sequence. Mature LY6K contains an extracellular domain (ECD) with a single LU domain and a GPI-anchoring site. Within the ECD, human Ly6K shares 39% and 36% amino acid sequence identity with mouse and rat Ly6K, respectively. Human Ly6K is strongly expressed in testis and is crucial for the production of fertile spermatozoa (4). Additionally, Ly6K has been shown to be upregulated in a number of types of cancer and promotes tumor cell proliferation and metastasis and is a potential cancer therapy target (5). Furthermore, Ly6K promotes glioblastoma tumorigenicity via caveolin-1–mediated ERK1/2 signaling (6). The over-expression of Ly6K suppresses T cell development in the in vivo mouse model (7).
