UniProtKB accession:  O61307

Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  Involved in neural development, regulating the establishment of proper connectivity within the nervous system. Acts as a homophilic and heterophilic synaptic cell adhesion molecule that drives synapse assembly. Promotes bi-directional trans-synaptic signaling with Ten-a to organize neuromuscular synapses. Functions in olfactory synaptic partner matching by promoting homophilic cell adhesion between pre-synaptic olfactory receptor neurons (ORN) axons and post-synaptic projection neurons (PN) dendrites partner in the developing antennal lobe to form stable connections. Also required for peripheral axon growth cone guidance and target recognition of motor neurons.
