CD321

and the most popular subtypes like CD321+

CD321 Gene ID	50848
CD321 Official Full Name	F11 receptor
CD321 Alias	JAM-A, JAM-1, PAM-1, F11R
CD321 Cellular Expression	T; B; NK; Endothelial; Epithelial; Erythrocyte; Granulocyte; Macrophage; Platelet
CD321 Ligand/Receptor/Association	PAR3, LFA-1, reovirus
CD321 Function	Plays a role in epithelial tight junction formation, regulation of leukocyte erythrocytes. migration, epithelial barrier maintenance and platelet activation
CD321 Summary	Tight junctions represent one mode of cell-to-cell adhesion in epithelial or endothelial cell sheets, forming continuous seals around cells and serving as a physical barrier to prevent solutes and water from passing freely through the paracellular space. The protein encoded by this immunoglobulin superfamily gene member is an important regulator of tight junction assembly in epithelia. In addition, the encoded protein can act as (1) a receptor for reovirus, (2) a ligand for the integrin LFA1, involved in leukocyte transmigration, and (3) a platelet receptor. Multiple 5' alternatively spliced variants, encoding the same protein, have been identified but their biological validity has not been established. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
