    SUBCELLULAR LOCALIZATION     plasma membrane
    basic FUNCTION
  • involved in short-range contact-mediated axonal guidance
  • can both positively and negatively regulate cell adhesion and migration
  • transduces signals to the nucleus and alters relevant gene expression, resulting in the decrease of invasiness of breast carcinoma cells
