| Background: |
function:Required for depolarization-dependent survival of cultured cerebellar granule neurons. May mediate homophilic as well as heterophilic cell-cell interaction with AMIGO1 or AMIGO3. May contribute to signal transduction through its intracellular domain. May be required for tumorigenesis of a subset of gastric adenocarcinomas.,similarity:Belongs to the immunoglobulin superfamily. AMIGO family.,similarity:Contains 1 Ig-like C2-type (immunoglobulin-like) domain.,similarity:Contains 6 LRR (leucine-rich) repeats.,subcellular location:Associated with nucleus as well as plasma membrane. Restricted to somata of cerebellar as well as hippocampal neurons.,subunit:Binds itself as well as AMIGO1 and AMIGO3.,tissue specificity:Highest levels in breast, ovary, cervix, and uterus. Lower levels in lung, colon, and rectum. Differentially expressed in 56% of thyroid, 57% of pancreatic and 45% of stomach cancers., |
