Description
Product Characteristics:
Provides, together with MAGI1, an adhesion machinery at tight junctions, which may regulate the permeability of kidney glomerulus and small intestinal epithelial cells. Mediates calcium-independent homophilic cell adhesion. In testis, it may function as a cell adhesion molecule rather than a tight-junction protein. It may participate in the adhesion between spermatogonia-spermatogonia, spermatogonia-Sertoli cells, and Sertoli cells-Sertoli cells.
Subcellular location: Extracellular
Synonyms: GSF5, IgSF5, IGSF5_HUMAN, Immunoglobulin superfamily 5 like, Immunoglobulin superfamily member 5, JAM-4, Junctional adhesion molecule 4.
