Function | Homophilic cell adhesion molecule that promotes axonal growth. May play a role in nerve regeneration and in the formation and function of other tissues. Cell adhesion requires divalent cations. |
Subcellular Location | Membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein. |
Tissue Specificity | Widely expressed in both adult and embryonic tissues, primarily those of epithelial origin. |
