UniProt data
UniProt name: NECT3_HUMAN (Q9NQS3)
Gene name: NECTIN3 {ECO:0000312|HGNC:HGNC:17664}; Synonyms=PRR3, PVRL3
Organism: Homo sapiens (Human).
Function: Plays a role in cell-cell adhesion through heterophilic trans-interactions with nectin-like proteins or nectins, such as trans-interaction with NECTIN2 at Sertoli-spermatid junctions. Trans-interaction with PVR induces activation of CDC42 and RAC small G proteins through common signaling molecules such as SRC and RAP1. Also involved in the formation of cell-cell junctions, including adherens junctions and synapses. Induces endocytosis- mediated down-regulation of PVR from the cell surface, resulting in reduction of cell movement and proliferation. Plays a role in the morphology of the ciliary body. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:16216929}.
