LYPD3 (Ly6/PLAUR-domain containing protein 3; also MIG-C4 and GPI-anchored metastasis-associated protein C4.4A) is an 85-95kD, variably glycosylated member of the Ly6 family of GPI-anchored proteins. It is expressed on transitional epithelium, keratinocytes and monocytes, and binds laminin 1 and 5, plus Galectin-3. LYPD3 is believed to support cell migration. Mature human LYPD3 is a 296aa GPI-linked glycoprotein. It contains two UPAR domains (aa33-126 and 140-222), and an ADAM cleavage site (aa312-325). The molecule shows extensive N- and O-linked glycosylation. There is one potential isoform that shows a deletion of aa129-180. Over aa31-286, human LYPD3 shares 81%aa identity with mouse LYPD3.
