Function
Belongs to an adhesion system, probably together with the E-cadherin-catenin system, which plays a role in the organization of homotypic, interneuronal and heterotypic cell-cell adherens junctions (AJs) (PubMed:9334353). Nectin- and actin-filament-binding protein that connects nectin to the actin cytoskeleton (PubMed:9334353). May play a key role in the organization of epithelial structures of the embryonic ectoderm (By similarity). Essential for the organization of adherens junctions (By similarity)
