Function

Cell adhesion molecule involved in the establishment and/or maintenance of cell integrity. Involved in the formation and regulation of the tight junction (TJ) paracellular permeability barrier in epithelial cells. Plays a role in VAMP3- mediated vesicular transport and recycling of different receptor molecules through its interaction with VAMP3. Plays a role in the regulation of cell shape and movement by modulating the Rho-family GTPase activity through its interaction with ARHGEF25/GEFT. Induces primordial adhesive contact and aggregation of epithelial cells in a Ca(2+)-independent manner. Also involved in striated muscle regeneration and repair and in the regulation of cell spreading. {ECO:0000269PubMed:16188940}.

Subcellular Localization

Lateral cell membrane {ECO:0000269PubMed:16188940}. Cell junction, tight junction {ECO:0000269PubMed:16188940}. Membrane {ECO:0000305}; Multi-pass membrane protein {ECO:0000305}. Note=Colocalizes with VAMP3 at the cell-cell contact in cardiac and skeletal muscle (By similarity). Its movement from the cytoplasm to membrane is an early event occurring concurrently with cell-cell contact. Colocalizes in epithelial cells with OCLN and TJP1 in an apical-lateral position within the z axis. Detected at cell-cell contact but never observed at the free surface of epithelial cells. {ECO:0000250}.

Disease Associations

Tissue Specificity

Expressed in epithelial cells (at protein level). Expressed in fetal and adult heart and skeletal muscle. {ECO:0000269PubMed:10441744, ECO:0000269PubMed:10882522, ECO:0000269PubMed:16188940}.
