Summary: Enables cell adhesion molecule binding activity and protein homodimerization activity. Involved in homophilic cell adhesion via plasma membrane adhesion molecules and spermatid development. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including establishment of mitochondrion localization; sperm mitochondrion organization; and spermatid development. Located in cell-cell contact zone; plasma membrane; and zonula adherens. Is expressed in brain; cochlea; enamel organ; male reproductive system; and metanephros. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Alzheimer's disease and multiple sclerosis. Orthologous to human NECTIN2 (nectin cell adhesion molecule 2).

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.
