    basic FUNCTION
  • potentially involved in cell-surface recognition during synapse assembly
  • involved in the suppression of lung tumor formation and metastasis
  • playing an important role in normal cell-cell interaction
  • a central effector gene for controlling the biologic aggressiveness of the tumor and that it is an essential biomarker for predicting patient prognosis
  • plays an important role in meningioma pathogenesis
  • functions as a glioma tumor suppressor
  • may be playing a role in normal spermatogenesis
  • synaptic cell adhesion molecule sufficient for promoting the formation of presynaptic terminals and inducing the functional synapse
  • mediates nerve-mast cell attachment and communication through homophilic binding
  • may be involved in hormone secretion from islet cell tumors
  • involved in regulating epidermal stem cell quiescence and location
  • selectively involved in endothelial cell migration, suggesting a role in endothelial barrier repair
  • tumor suppressor, involved in cell adhesion and preferentially inactivated in invasive cancer
  • involved in the formation of epithelia-like cell structure with EPB41L3 and MPP2, while loss of its function could cause morphological transformation of cancer cells
  • plays an important role in the formation of the epithelial cell structure with mature cell adhesion
  • CADM1 complex may play a key role in the formation of the epithelia-like cell structure, whereas inactivation of the components of the complex would be a key step in malignant progression of cancer
  • negatively regulates the morphological complexity of migrating growth cones
  • acts in developing neurons to shape migrating growth cones and contributes to the adhesive differentiation of their axo-dendritic contacts
  • contributes to ERBB4 receptor-mediated control of female sexual development
  • self-assembles laterally via its extracellular, membrane-proximal immunoglobulin (Ig) domains 2 and 3
  • function for CADM1 in suppressing metastasis by sensitizing tumor cells to immune surveillance mechanisms
  • promotes the formation of presynaptic terminals and induces functional synapses in the central nervous system
  • CELLULAR PROCESS cell communication
    PHYSIOLOGICAL PROCESS
    PATHWAY
    metabolism
    signaling
    a component
  • forms a tripartite protein complex with EPB41L3 and MPP1, MPP2, MPP3
  • INTERACTION
    DNA
    RNA
    small molecule
    protein
  • intracellular PDZ-domain proteins
  • associating with MPP3(interaction dependent on the presence of a PDZ-binding motif at the carboxyl terminus of TSLC1)
  • associates with an actin-binding protein, EPB41L3, and a scaffold protein, membrane protein palmitoylated 3 MPP3, MPP2, MPP1
  • recruits NMDA receptors via protein EPB41L3
  • interaction with PTK2 (PTK2 is a binding partner and effector in shaping growth cones)
  • interacting with TIAM1 (cytoplasmic domain of CADM1 directly interacted with the PDZ domain of Tiam1 and induced formation of lamellipodia through Rac activation in HTLV-I-transformed cell lines as well as adult T-cell leukemia cell lines)
  • EPB41L3 binds to CADM1 through conserved residues in a well defined hydrophobic pocket in the structural C-lobe of the EPB41L3 FERM domain
  • ADAM10 mediates endogenous CADM1 shedding
  • triggers a retrograde signal regulating active zone composition via CADM1
  • interacts with ERBB4 and regulates the development of excitatory synapses via the regulation of ERBB4 activity in GABAergic neurons
  • interaction of CADM1 with ERBB3 inhibits the NRG1-induced ERBB3/ERBB2 signaling in epithelial cells
  • CDH2 promotes neurite branching and it is required for three synaptic organizers, NLGN1, leucine-rich repeat transmembrane protein 2 (LRRTM2), and CADM1 to stimulate presynaptic differentiation

  • Cadm1-knock out (KO) mice exhibit smaller cerebella with decreased number of synapse of Purkinje cells and some ASD-like symptoms, including impaired ultrasonic vocalization
  • epidermal overexpression of Cadm1 in transgenic mice led to increased autoimmune alopecia susceptibility relative to nontransgenic littermate controls
