Description
Cadm1 is a 75 kDaimmunoglobulin superfamily protein that mediates calcium-independent adhesiveinteractions, either homophilic or heterophilic with CRTAM (classI-restricted T cell-associated molecule), Necl1 (SynCAM3) or Nectin3.Alternate names for Cadm1 reflect its activities. As Cadm1, it isdownregulated in onsmall cell lung cancer. This may allow evasion ofantitumor responses, since Cadm1 interaction with CRTAM on activated NK andCD8+ T cells stimulates cytotoxicity and upregulates IFN-γ production
