Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.5.0)
Enables cell adhesion mediator activity and protein homodimerization activity. Involved in several processes, including cochlea morphogenesis; heterophilic cell-cell adhesion via plasma membrane cell adhesion molecules; and homophilic cell adhesion via plasma membrane adhesion molecules. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including camera-type eye morphogenesis; fertilization; and protein localization to cell junction. Located in adherens junction; apical junction complex; and cell-cell contact zone. Is active in hippocampal mossy fiber to CA3 synapse and postsynaptic density membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including metanephros; nervous system; sensory organ; skeletal musculature; and tooth. Orthologous to human NECTIN3 (nectin cell adhesion molecule 3).
