Nectin4 Gene Summary [Mouse]
Predicted to enable identical protein binding activity. Predicted to be involved in heterophilic cell-cell adhesion via plasma membrane cell adhesion molecules and homophilic cell adhesion via plasma membrane adhesion molecules. Predicted to act upstream of or within cell-cell adhesion. Predicted to be located in plasma membrane. Predicted to be active in adherens junction. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; genitourinary system; nose; respiratory system; and skin. Orthologous to human NECTIN4 (nectin cell adhesion molecule 4).

Protein Domains
A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in mouse Nectin4 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
