Lysine-rich CEACAM1 co-isolated protein family
LYRIC is a family of proteins found in eukaryotes. It is a type-1b membrane protein with a single transmembrane domain and localizes to the endoplasmic reticulum and the nuclear envelope. It is also found in the nucleolus, suggesting functional relationships between these two cellular compartments. It is found to be colocalized with tight junction proteins ZO-1 and occludin in polarized epithelial cells, suggesting that LYRIC is part of the tight junction complex. LYRIC has been shown to promote tumour cell migration and invasion by activating the transcription factor NF-kappaB.
