LYAR
protein-codingLy1 antibody reactive, the group of Zinc fingers C2HC-type
Gene summary
Enables several functions, including DNA-binding transcription factor binding activity; identical protein binding activity; and transcription regulator inhibitor activity. Involved in several processes, including erythrocyte development; negative regulation of innate immune response; and regulation of DNA-templated transcription. Located in nucleolus and nucleoplasm.

ClinVar Variants & Pathogenicity by Type
Statistics based on transcript NM_017816.3. Only rare variants are included.
We include only reliable ClinVar variants with their consequences to MANE Select, MANE Plus Clinical transcripts, or transcripts with TSL equal to 1. Click a count to filter the variants table below.
Slight differences between displayed counts and ClinVar may occur due to a different transcript/consequence chosen by our variant effect predictor, or because we classify Benign/Likely benign as Likely benign and Pathogenic/Likely pathogenic as Likely pathogenic.

- Function
- FUNCTION: Plays a role in the maintenance of the appropriate processing of 47S/45S pre-rRNA to 32S/30S pre-rRNAs and their subsequent processing to produce 18S and 28S rRNAs (PubMed:24495227). Also acts at the level of transcription regulation. Along with PRMT5, binds the gamma-globin (HBG1/HBG2) promoter and represses its expression (PubMed:25092918). In neuroblastoma cells, may also repress the expression of oxidative stress genes, including CHAC1, HMOX1, SLC7A11, ULBP1 and SNORD41 that encodes a small nucleolar RNA (PubMed:28686580). Preferentially binds to a DNA motif containing 5'-GGTTAT-3' (PubMed:25092918). Stimulates phagocytosis of photoreceptor outer segments by retinal pigment epithelial cells (By similarity). Prevents nucleolin/NCL self-cleavage, maintaining a normal steady- state level of NCL protein in undifferentiated embryonic stem cells (ESCs), which in turn is essential for ESC self-renewal (By similarity). {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q08288, ECO:0000269|PubMed:24495227, ECO:0000269|PubMed:25092918, ECO:0000269|PubMed:28686580}.;
