Post Translational Modifications | Polysialylated at Asn-459 and Asn-488 by ST8SIA2 and ST8SIA4. Polysialylation modulates cell interactions by confering both attractive and repulsive properties that are highly regulated by ST8SIA2 and ST8SIA4. Polysialylation is formed on a-2,3-linked sialic acid of core glycans. |
Function | This protein is a cell adhesion molecule involved in neuron-neuron adhesion, neurite fasciculation, outgrowth of neurites, etc. (Microbial infection) Acts as a receptor for rabies virus. (Microbial infection) Acts as a receptor for Zika virus. |
