Summary
Enables acetylcholine receptor binding activity and acetylcholine receptor inhibitor activity. Involved in negative regulation of viral entry into host cell. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including epinephrine secretion; norepinephrine metabolic process; and ventricular cardiac muscle tissue morphogenesis. Predicted to be located in membrane. Predicted to be active in plasma membrane. Predicted to be anchored component of membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; extraembryonic component; genitourinary system; immune system; and skeletal musculature. Orthologous to human LY6E (lymphocyte antigen 6 family member E). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
