CADM3 cell adhesion molecule 3

Gene ID: 57863, updated on 4-Jan-2025
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: BIgR; NECL1; TSLL1; CMT2FF; IGSF4B; Necl-1; synCAM3

Summary

The protein encoded by this gene is a calcium-independent cell-cell adhesion protein that can form homodimers or heterodimers with other nectin proteins. The encoded protein has both homophilic and heterophilic cell-cell adhesion activity. This gene is reported to be a tumor suppressor gene. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2016]
