Description

Thy-1 membrane glycoprotein (Thy-1) is a glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchored surface protein belonging to the immunoglobulin superfamily and is a major cell surface protein found on both T&ndash,cells and in the brain. Thy-1 is thought to be involved in interactions taking place during synaptogenesis and other neurological events between cells or cells and their ligands. There are two known alleles for Thy-1, Thy1.1 and Thy1.2. Studies have shown N-glycosolation to take place at three locations on the protein.
