| Function | Extracellular matrix and cell adhesion protein that plays a role in nervous system development and in synaptic plasticity. Both soluble and membranous forms promote neurite outgrowth of cerebellar and hippocampal neurons and suppress neuronal cell death. Plays a role in neuronal positioning of pyramidal neurons and in regulation of both the number of interneurons and the efficacy of GABAergic synapses. May play a role in regulating cell migration in nerve regeneration and cortical development. Potentiates integrin-dependent cell migration towards extracellular matrix proteins. Recruits ANK3 to the plasma membrane (By similarity). {ECO:0000250}. |
| Subcellular Location | Cell membrane {ECO:0000250}; Single-pass type I membrane protein {ECO:0000250}. Note=Soluble forms produced by cleavage/shedding also exist. {ECO:0000250}. |
| Tissue Specificity | Expressed in the fetal and adult brain as well as in Schwann cell culture. Also detected in adult peripheral tissues. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:9799093}. |
