Ly6/PLAUR domain-containing protein 1 (Lypd1)

Believed to serve as a modulator of nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) activity. In vitro raises receptor desensitization and decreases affinity for ACh of alpha- 4:beta-2-containing nAChRs (PubMed:19246390).

May play a role in the intracellular trafficking of alpha-4:beta-2 and alpha-7- containing nAChRs and may inhibit their expression at the cell surface (PubMed:26276394, PubMed:25716842). May be involved in the control of anxiety (PubMed:19246390).
