a New IFN-Inducible Human Member of the Ly6a Subfamily Expressed by Spleen Cells and Associated with Inflammation and Viral Resistance.

Syntenic genomic loci on human chromosome 8 and mouse chromosome 15 (mChr15) code for LY6/Ly6 (lymphocyte Ag 6) family proteins. The 23 murine family genes include eight genes that are flanked by the murine and genes and form an Ly6 subgroup referred to in this article as the Ly6a subfamily gene cluster. , also known as and , is a member of the Ly6a subfamily gene cluster.
