SUBCELLULAR LOCALIZATION	plasma membrane
	intracellular
	intracellular,cytoplasm,cytosolic
text	attached to the membrane by a GPI-anchor

basic FUNCTION	playing a role in cell-cell or cell-ligand interactions during synaptogenesis and other events in the brain
	putative tumor suppressor gene for ovarian cancer
	adhesion molecule on activated endothelial cells (ECs) mediating the adhesion of neutrophils via the interaction with ITGB2
	pivotal roles on activated dermal EC or fibroblasts and its counter receptor CD18 on neutrophils for the regulation of MMP9 and CXCL8 release from neutrophils
	positive-selection marker for the isolation of cancer stem cells in some case of T-acute lymphoblastic leukemia
	in myofibroblasts is not just a marker, but is a functional protein that transmits signals into the cell, up-regulating its FASLG expression
	lymphatic vessel expressed gene, suggesting its potential role in the cell adhesion processes required for tumor progression and inflammation
	involved in the control of inflammatory cell recruitment and, thus, also in conditioning the inflammatory microenvironment
	functions as a tumor suppressor in ovarian cancer and in nasopharyngeal carcinoma
	may play a critical role in the generation of tumor vasculatures in glioma via differentiation into endothelial cells
	promoted lipofibroblast differentiation via the expression of PPARG, stimulated lipid accumulation via fatty-acid esterification, and enhanced the fatty-acid uptake mediated by fatty-acid transporter proteins
	important in the regulation of lipofibroblast differentiation in the developing lung

PATHWAY

metabolism

signaling

a component

INTERACTION

DNA

RNA

small molecule

protein	neutrophil interaction with THY1 stimulated secretion of CXCL8 and thus could support the attraction of additional neutrophils to inflammatory sites
	CD97, present on peripheral myeloid cells, is a novel interacting partner for THY1 (is an interacting partner for CD97 on activated endothelial cells)
	colocalizes and coimmunoprecipitates potentially with a membrane-spanning protein HCN4 in retina
