This protein binds to T-cell differentiation antigene CD6, and is implicated in the processes of cell adhesion and migration. Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2011]. * **<color #00a2e8>UniProt Summary</color>**: Cell adhesion molecule that mediates both heterotypic cell-cell contacts via its interaction with CD6, as well as homotypic cell-cell contacts (PubMed:7760007, PubMed:15496415, PubMed:15048703, PubMed:16352806, PubMed:23169771, PubMed:24945728). Promotes T-cell activation and proliferation via its interactions with CD6 (PubMed:15048703, PubMed:16352806, PubMed:24945728). Contributes to the formation and maturation of the immunological synapse via its interactions with CD6 (PubMed:15294938, PubMed:16352806). Mediates homotypic interactions with cells that express ALCAM (PubMed:15496415, PubMed:16352806). Required for normal hematopoietic stem cell engraftment in the bone marrow (PubMed:24740813). Mediates attachment of dendritic cells onto endothelial cells via homotypic interaction (PubMed:23169771). Inhibits endothelial cell migration and promotes endothelial tube formation via homotypic interactions (PubMed:15496415, PubMed:23169771). Required for normal organization of the lymph vessel network. Required for normal hematopoietic stem cell engraftment in the bone marrow. Plays a role in hematopoiesis; required for normal numbers of hematopoietic stem cells in bone marrow. Promotes in vitro osteoblast proliferation and differentiation (By similarity). Promotes neurite extension, axon growth and axon guidance; axons grow preferentially on surfaces that contain ALCAM. Mediates outgrowth and pathfinding for retinal ganglion cell axons (By similarity). {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P42292, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15048703, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15294938, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15496415, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16352806, ECO:0000269|PubMed:24945728, ECO:0000269|PubMed:7760007}. <button type='primary' size='sm' modal='Pfam_Domains'>Pfam Domains</button> <button type='primary' size='sm' modal='GO_terms'>GO Terms</button> <modal id='Pfam_Domains' size='lg' title='Pfam Domains'> |V-set| |C2-set 2| </modal> <modal id='GO_terms' size='lg' title='GO Terms'> |neuron projection extension involved in neuron projection guidance| |axon extension involved in axon guidance| |retinal ganglion cell axon guidance| |motor neuron axon guidance| |axon extension| |immunological synapse| |intrinsic component of plasma membrane| |heterophilic cell-cell adhesion via plasma membrane cell adhesion molecules| |neuron projection extension| |developmental cell growth| |cell growth| |developmental growth involved in morphogenesis| |T cell receptor complex| |cell-cell adhesion via plasma-membrane adhesion molecules| |axon guidance| |neuron projection guidance| |axon| |signaling receptor binding| |neuronal cell body| |axonogenesis| |developmental growth| |growth| |external side of plasma membrane| |axon development| |focal adhesion| |dendrite| |cell morphogenesis involved in neuron differentiation| |neuron projection morphogenesis| |plasma membrane bounded cell projection morphogenesis| |cell projection morphogenesis| |cell-cell adhesion| |cell part morphogenesis| |chemotaxis| |taxis| |cell morphogenesis involved in differentiation| |adaptive immune response| |neuron projection development| |cell morphogenesis| |neuron development| |cellular component morphogenesis| |cell adhesion| |biological adhesion| |neuron differentiation| |identical protein binding| |plasma membrane bounded cell projection organization| |cell projection organization| |locomotion| |integral component of plasma membrane| |generation of neurons| |movement of cell or subcellular component| |neurogenesis| |cell development| |immune response| </modal> \\ === CRISPR Data === <button type='primary' size='small' modal='Compound_Hit'>Compound Hit</button> <button type='default' size='small' modal='Most_Correlated_Genes'>Most Correlated Genes in Chemogenomics</button> <button type='primary' size='small' modal='Essential_Avana'>Tissues where Essential in the Avana Dataset (DepMap 20Q1)</button> <modal id='Compound_Hit' size='lg' title='Compound Hit'> ^Screen^Score^ |[[:results:exp311|2-Methoxyestradiol 0.55 to 0.75μM on day4 R07 exp311]]|-1.78| |[[:results:exp101|Nicotinamide 1000μM R03 exp101]]|1.82| |[[:results:exp209|Deguelin 0.15μM R05 exp209]]|1.92| |[[:results:exp442|Ibrutinib 10μM R08 exp442]]|1.97| |[[:results:exp430|Rifampicin 30μM R08 exp430]]|2.4| </modal> <modal id='Most_Correlated_Genes' size='lg' title='Most Correlated Genes in Chemogenomics'> No correlation found to any other genes in chemogenomics. </modal> <modal id='Essential_Avana' size='lg' title='Tissues where Essential in the Avana Dataset (DepMap 20Q1)'> Global Fraction of Cell Lines Where Essential: 0/739 ^Tissue^Fraction Of Cell Lines Where Essential^ |1290807.0|0/1| |909776.0|0/1| |bile duct|0/28| |blood|0/28| |bone|0/26| |breast|0/33| |central nervous system|0/56| |cervix|0/4| |colorectal|0/17| |esophagus|0/13| |fibroblast|0/1| |gastric|0/16| |kidney|0/21| |liver|0/20| |lung|0/75| |lymphocyte|0/16| |ovary|0/26| |pancreas|0/24| |peripheral nervous system|0/16| |plasma cell|0/15| |prostate|0/1| |skin|0/24| |soft tissue|0/9| |thyroid|0/2| |upper aerodigestive|0/22| |urinary tract|0/29| |uterus|0/5| </modal> == Essentiality in NALM6 == * **<color #00a2e8>Essentiality Rank</color>**: 5536 * **<color #00a2e8>Expression level (log2 read counts)</color>**: -6.6 <button type='primary' size='small' modal='Dist_expr'>Expression Distribution</button> <modal id='Dist_expr' size='lg' title='ALCAM Expression in NALM6 Cells: -6.6'> {{:chemogenomics:nalm6 dist.png?nolink |}} </modal> Last modified: 2026/01/07 22:36by 127.0.0.1
