NCBI Description

This gene encodes a type I membrane protein and member of the immunoglobulin-like superfamily. It is expressed in myelinating glial cells, including oligodendrocytes of the central nervous system and Schwann cells of the peripheral nervous system. Mice lacking the encoded protein express abundant myelin, but suffer long-term axon degeneration, altered distribution of channels and adhesion molecules at nodes of Ranvier, and altered axon cytoskeletal structure. While not required for myelination, the encoded protein enhances axon-myelin stability, helps to structure nodes of Ranvier, and regulates the axon cytoskeleton. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2016]

Uniprot Description

Adhesion molecule that mediates interactions between myelinating cells and neurons by binding to neuronal sialic acid-containing gangliosides and to the glycoproteins RTN4R and RTN4RL2 (PubMed:7533044, PubMed:12089450, PubMed:27922006). Not required for initial myelination, but seems to play a role in the maintenance of normal axon myelination (PubMed:7516497, PubMed:9262180, PubMed:9482781, PubMed:9482783, PubMed:9469574, PubMed:10625334). Protects motoneurons against apoptosis, also after injury; protection against apoptosis is probably mediated via interaction with neuronal RTN4R and RTN4RL2 (PubMed:26335717). Required to prevent degeneration of myelinated axons in adults; this probably depends on binding to gangliosides on the axon cell membrane (PubMed:15953602, PubMed:19158290). Negative regulator of neurite outgrowth that inhibits axon longitudinal growth (PubMed:19158290, PubMed:27922006, PubMed:12089450). Negative regulator of neurite outgrowth; in dorsal root ganglion neurons the inhibition is mediated primarily via binding to neuronal RTN4R or RTN4RL2 and to a lesser degree via binding to neuronal gangliosides (PubMed:17640868). In cerebellar granule cells the inhibition is mediated via binding to neuronal gangliosides (PubMed:17640868). In sensory neurons, inhibition of neurite extension depends only partially on RTN4R, RTN4RL2 and gangliosides (). Inhibits axon outgrowth by binding to RTN4R (PubMed:12089450). Preferentially binds to alpha-2,3-linked sialic acid (PubMed:7533044, PubMed:27922006). Binds ganglioside Gt1b (PubMed:27922006).
