| Function |
Transmembrane protein of the plasma membrane of leukocytes that control their migration and activation through interaction with CXADR, a plasma membrane receptor found on adjacent epithelial and endothelial cells. The interaction between both receptors mediates the activation of gamma-delta T-cells, a subpopulation of T-cells residing in epithelia and involved in tissue homeostasis and repair. Upon epithelial CXADR-binding, AMICA1 induces downstream cell signaling events in gamma-delta T- cells through PI3-kinase and MAP kinases. It results in proliferation and production of cytokines and growth factors by T- cells that in turn stimulate epithelial tissues repair. It also controls the transmigration of leukocytes within epithelial and endothelial tissues through adhesive interactions with epithelial and endothelial CXADR. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12869515, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15800062, ECO:0000269|PubMed:18948633, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19064666}.

| Subcellular Location |
Cell membrane; Single-pass type I membrane protein. Cell junction. Note=Localized at the plasma membrane and enriched in areas of cell-cell contacts.
|
| Tissue Specificity |
Expression is restricted to the hematopoietic tissues with the exception of liver. Expressed in fetal liver, spleen and thymus. Preferentially expressed by mature leukocytes (at protein level). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12869515, ECO:0000269|PubMed:18948633, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19064666}.
