    text
  • single-pass type I membrane protein
  • localized at immature adherens junctions
  • basic FUNCTION
  • controlling cell proliferation
  • playing an important role in cerebellum development
  • acts through the WAVE regulatory complex to drive collective cell migration during tissue rotation
  • may function as a key molecule that governs not only planar cell polarity (PCP), but also NF2-HIPPO signaling in arachnoid cells
  • FAT2 and the receptor tyrosine phosphatase PTPRF function in a planar signaling system that coordinates leading and trailing edge dynamics between neighboring cells
  • CELLULAR PROCESS cell life, proliferation/growth
