Nectin 3 Antibody, 100 ug

Nectin-3, also known as poliovirus receptor-related 3, is a 95 kDa type I transmembrane glycoprotein belonging to the Nectin family of Ig superfamily proteins. It is mapped to 3q13.13. This gene encodes a member of the nectin family of proteins, which function as adhesion molecules at adherens junctions. This family member interacts with other nectin-like proteins and with afadin, a filamentous actin-binding protein involved in the regulation of directional motility, cell proliferation and survival. This gene plays a role in ocular development involving the ciliary body. Mutations in this gene are believed to result in congenital ocular defects. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.
