Summary: Predicted to enable cell-cell adhesion mediator activity. Acts upstream of or within homophilic cell adhesion via plasma membrane adhesion molecules. Located in adherens junction; bicellular tight junction; and plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including cardiovascular system; liver; lung; nervous system; and placenta. Orthologous to human ESAM (endothelial cell adhesion molecule). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]

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.

Description

Transcript Variant: This variant (2) uses an alternate splice site in an internal exon, compared to variant 1. This variant is represented as non-coding because the use of the 5'-most expected translational start codon renders the transcript a candidate for nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD).
