Structural highlights

Function

[CXAR_MOUSE] Component of the epithelial apical junction complex that is essential for the tight junction integrity. Proposed to function as a homophilic cell adhesion molecule. Recruits MPDZ to intercellular contact sites. Probably involved in transepithelial migration of polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMN) through adhesive interactions with AMICA1/JAML located in the plasma membrane of PMN (By similarity).^{[1] [2] [3]} In vitro, acts as a receptor for group B coxsackieviruses and subgroup C of adenoviruses (AD2 and AD5).^{[4] [5] [6]}
