Recombinant Human Cell adhesion molecule 3 (CADM3), Truncated

Uniprot Id

Q8N126

Target Species

Human

Target Name

CADM3

Target Full Name

Cell adhesion molecule 3

Target Function

Involved in the cell-cell adhesion. Has both calcium-independent homophilic cell-cell adhesion activity and calcium-independent heterophilic cell-cell adhesion activity with IGSF4, NECTIN1 and NECTIN3. Interaction with EPB41L1 may regulate structure or function of cell-cell junctions.

Target Subcellular Location

Cell membrane; Single-pass type I membrane protein. Cell junction.

Target Protein Families

Nectin family

Target Tissue Specificity

Isoform 1 is expressed mainly in adult and fetal brain. Isoform 2 is highly expressed in adult brain and weakly expressed in placenta. In brain, Isoform 2 is highly expressed in cerebellum.

Target Background

The protein encoded by this gene is a calcium-independent cell-cell adhesion protein that can form homodimers or heterodimers with other nectin proteins. The encoded protein has both homophilic and heterophilic cell-cell adhesion activity. This gene is reported to be a tumor suppressor gene.
