The FXYD family is a group of small single-span transmembrane proteins characterized by a signature sequence containing an FXYD motif, two conserved glycines and a serine residue. Members of the FXYD family, including FXYD1 (phospholemman), FXYD2 (gamma subunit of Na,K-ATPase), FXYD3 (Mat8), FXYD4 (CHIF), FXYD5 (RIC), FXYD6 (phosphohippolin) and FXYD7, are tissue specific regulators of the Na,K-ATPase. FXYD6 is primarily expressed in the brain. It modulates the kinetic activity of Na,K-ATPase and has long-term physiological importance in maintaining cation homeostasis. It may play a role in endolymph composition, and has a potential important role in neuronal excitability of the CNS during postnatal development and in the adult brain. On the SDS-PAGE FXYD6 migrates with an apparent molecular weight of approximately 20 kDa, which is larger than the calculated molecular weight of 10.5 kDa . The gene encodes FXYD6 is located on chromosome 11q23.3, and it might be a susceptibility gene of schizophrenia.
