Summary: Predicted to be involved in angiogenesis and positive regulation of cell migration. Predicted to act upstream of or within heterophilic cell-cell adhesion via plasma membrane cell adhesion molecules. Predicted to be located in external side of plasma membrane and extracellular space. Predicted to be active in plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including adipose tissue; extraembryonic component; genitourinary system; gut; and nervous system. Orthologous to human MCAM (melanoma cell adhesion molecule).

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
