Cxadr Gene Summary [Rat]

Predicted to enable several functions, including PDZ domain binding activity; beta-catenin binding activity; and connexin binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including AV node cell-bundle of His cell adhesion involved in cell communication; heterophilic cell-cell adhesion via plasma membrane cell adhesion molecules; and neutrophil chemotaxis. Predicted to act upstream of or within negative regulation of cardiac muscle cell proliferation. Located in bicellular tight junction and neuron projection. Orthologous to human CXADR (CXADR Ig-like cell adhesion molecule). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]
