Summary: Predicted to enable calcium ion binding activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including calcium-independent cell-cell adhesion via plasma membrane cell-adhesion molecules; epiboly involved in gastrulation with mouth forming second; and homophilic cell adhesion via plasma membrane adhesion molecules. Located in cell surface and plasma membrane. Is expressed in cranial ganglion; eye; floor plate; and forebrain. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
