UniProt data
UniProt name: GLDN_HUMAN (Q6ZMI3)
Gene name: GLDN; Synonyms=COLM; ORFNames=UNQ9339/PRO34011
Organism: Homo sapiens (Human).
Function: Ligand for NRCAM and NFASC/neurofascin that plays a role in the formation and maintenance of the nodes of Ranvier on myelinated axons. Mediates interaction between Schwann cell microvilli and axons via its interactions with NRCAM and NFASC. Nodes of Ranvier contain clustered sodium channels that are crucial for the saltatory propagation of action potentials along myelinated axons. During development, nodes of Ranvier are formed by the fusion of two heminodes. Required for normal clustering of sodium channels at heminodes; not required for the formation of mature nodes with normal sodium channel clusters. Required, together with NRCAM, for maintaining NFASC and sodium channel clusters at mature nodes of Ranvier. {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q8BMF8}.
Subcellular location: Gliomedin shedded ectodomain: Secreted {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q80WL1}. Secreted, extracellular space, extracellular matrix {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q80WL1}. Note=Proteolytic processing gives rise to a soluble extracellular domain that is secreted. The gliomedin shedded ectodomain localizes to the nodes of Ranvier. {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q80WL1}.
Transmembrane domains:
- 18-39, 22 AA, Helical; Signal-anchor for type II membrane protein. {ECO:0000255}.
Sequence: 551 AA
