|
| Function |
Seems to be involved in cell adhesion through trans- homophilic and -heterophilic interactions, the latter including specifically interactions with PVRL2/nectin-1. Does not act as receptor for alpha-herpesvirus entry into cells.
|
| Subcellular Location |
Cell membrane {ECO:0000305}; Single-pass type I membrane protein {ECO:0000305}. Cell junction, adherens junction {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11544254}. Note=Colocalizes with MLLT4 at cadherin-based adherens junctions.
|
| Tissue Specificity |
Predominantly expressed in placenta. Not detected in normal breast epithelium but expressed in breast carcinoma. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11544254, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17474988}.
