Summary: Enables identical protein binding activity and integrin binding activity. Involved in angiogenesis; cell-cell adhesion; and hematopoietic stem cell migration to bone marrow. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including leukocyte migration involved in inflammatory response; myeloid progenitor cell differentiation; and regulation of actin cytoskeleton organization by cell-cell adhesion. Located in Schmidt-Lanterman incisure; bicellular tight junction; and paranodal junction. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; eye; genitourinary system; and immune system. Orthologous to human JAM3 (junctional adhesion molecule 3).

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.
