Predicted to enable cell-cell adhesion mediator activity. Predicted to be involved in homophilic cell adhesion via plasma membrane adhesion molecules; neuron development; and synapse organization. Predicted to act upstream of or within positive regulation of Notch signaling pathway. Predicted to be located in side of membrane. Predicted to be active in axon; parallel fiber to Purkinje cell synapse; and presynaptic membrane.
RGD Description
The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the immunoglobulin superfamily. It is a glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchored neuronal membrane protein that functions as a cell adhesion molecule. It may play a role in the formation of axon connections in the developing nervous system. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2014]
