  Domain Name: Ig1_Necl-1-3_like
First (N-terminal) immunoglobulin (Ig)-like domain of the nectin-like molecules Necl-1 - Necl-3 (also known as cell adhesion molecules CADM3, CADM1, and CADM2 respectively). Ig1_Necl-1-3_like: N-terminal immunoglobulin (Ig)-like domain of the nectin-like molecules Necl-1 (also known as cell adhesion molecule 3 (CADM3)), Necl-2 (CADM1), and Necl-3 (CADM2). At least five nectin-like molecules have been identified (Necl-1 - Necl-5). They all have an extracellular region containing three Ig-like domains, a transmembrane region, and a cytoplasmic region. The N-terminal Ig-like domain of the extracellular region belongs to the V-type subfamily of Ig domains, is essential to cell-cell adhesion, and plays a part in the interaction with the envelope glycoprotein D of various viruses. Necl-1, Necl-2, and Necl-3 have Ca(2+)-independent homophilic and heterophilic cell-cell adhesion activity. Necl-1 is specifically expressed in neural tissue, and is important to the formation of synapses, axon bundles, and myelinated axons. Necl-2 is expressed in a wide variety of tissues, and is a putative tumour suppressor gene, which is downregulated in aggressive neuroblastoma. Necl-3 accumulates in central and peripheral nervous system tissue, and has been shown to selectively interact with oligodendrocytes. This group also contains Class-I MHC-restricted T-cell-associated molecule (CRTAM), whose expression pattern is consistent with its expression in Class-I MHC-restricted T-cells.
No pairwise interactions are available for this conserved domain.

Tips:
 If you've navigated here from a protein, hovering over a position on the weblogo will display the corresponding protein position for that domain position.

 The histograms below the weblogo indicate mutations found on the domain. Red is for disease (OMIM) and blue is for SNPs.

 Functional Features are displayed as orange boxes under the histograms. You can choose which features are displayed in the box below.
