Function | Adhesion molecule that engages in homo- and heterophilic interactions with the other nectin-like family members, leading to cell aggregation. Important for synapse organization, providing regulated trans-synaptic adhesion. Preferentially binds to oligodendrocytes. Isoform 5: (Microbial infection) Induces cell fusion in neuron infected by a neuropathogenic strain of measles.Interacts with measles hemagglutinin to trigger hyperfusogenic F-mediated membrane fusion and presumably transsynaptic cell-to-cell transmission of the virus. |
