Description
This gene encodes a single-pass type I membrane glycoprotein with two Ig-like C2-type domains and an Ig-like V-type domain. This protein is one of the plasma membrane components of adherens junctions. It also serves as an entry for certain mutant strains of herpes simplex virus and pseudorabies virus, and it is involved in cell to cell spreading of these viruses. Variations in this gene have been associated with differences in the severity of multiple sclerosis. Alternate transcriptional splice variants, encoding different isoforms, have been characterized.
Bio-activity
Measured by its binding ability in a functional ELISA. When Recombinant Cynomolgus Monkey Nectin-2/CD112 Fc Chimera is immobilized at 1 μg/mL (100 μL/well), Recombinant Cynomolgus Monkey DNAM-1/CD226 Fc Chimera binds with an ED50 of 0.1-0.6 μg/mL.
