NCIt definition : Human LYN wild-type allele is located within 8q13 and is approximately 132 kb in length.
This allele, which encodes tyrosine-protein kinase Lyn protein, plays a role in B-cell
receptor signaling, Fc epsilon receptor I signaling and glycoprotein VI-mediated platelet
activation. Decreased expression of the LYN gene is associated with systemic lupus
erythematosus.;
