Function |
Plays a role in the formation of the nodes of Ranvier along myelinated axons. Probable NRCAM and NFASC/neurofascin ligand which may provide a glial positional clue required for the proper molecular assembly of the nodes of Ranvier (By similarity). {ECO:0000250}.
|
Subcellular Location |
Cell membrane; Single-pass type II membrane protein. Note=Localizes to the nodes of Ranvier. {ECO:0000250}.
|
Tissue Specificity |
Specifically expressed in spinal cord, brain, placenta and sciatic nerve. More abundant in peripheral than central nervous system. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:16039564}.
