PHYSICAL PROPERTIES

STRUCTURE

motifs/domains	three immunoglobulin-like domains
	a single transmembrane domain
	a short cytosolic tail with a protein 4.1 interaction sequence and a PDZ type II motif
	single N-glycosylation site at N290KS which influences its adhesion activity

conjugated

GlycoP

HOMOLOGY

interspecies

ortholog to murine Igsf4b

intraspecies

homolog to TSLC1

Homologene

FAMILY	Ca-independent immunoglobulin superfamily of cell adhesion molecules
	nectin-like family

CATEGORY

adhesion , receptor membrane

SUBCELLULAR LOCALIZATION

plasma membrane

basic FUNCTION	functioning as adhesion molecule
	playing an important role for mediating axon-glia contact during myelination in peripheral nerves
	could play an important role in cell-cell interaction as well as in tumor suppression
	mediate critical interactions between Schwann cells and axons during myelination
	has Ca(2+)-independent homophilic and heterophilic cell-cell adhesion activity, and plays an important role in the formation of synapses, axon bundles, and myelinated axons
	neural tissue-specific immunoglobulin-like cell-cell adhesion molecule which has Ca(2+)-independent homo- or heterophilic cell-cell adhesion activity and plays an important role in the formation of synapses, axon bundles and myelinated axons
	may act as a tumor suppressor in glioma and loss of it in glioma may be caused by histone deacetylation
	with CADM4, suppress the growth and tumorigenic ability of colon cancer cells
	plays an important role in the initial axon-oligodendrocyte recognition and adhesion in CNS myelination
