| Function |
Plays a major role in tight junction-specific obliteration of the intercellular space, through calcium- independent cell-adhesion activity (By similarity). May act as a coreceptor for HCV entry into hepatic cells. {ECO:0000250, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17804490}.
|
| Subcellular Location |
Cell junction, tight junction. Cell membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein.
|
| Tissue Specificity |
Expressed in the liver, in peripheral blood mononuclear cells and hepatocarcinoma cell lines. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:17804490}.
