Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Enables protein binding activity involved in heterotypic cell-cell adhesion. Involved in paranodal junction assembly. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including neuron development; protein localization to axon; and transmission of nerve impulse. Located in several cellular components, including main axon; paranodal junction; and septate junction. Is expressed in nervous system and neural retina. Orthologous to human NFASC (neurofascin).
