Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Enables protein binding activity involved in heterotypic cell-cell adhesion. Acts upstream of or within clustering of voltage-gated sodium channels and microvillus organization. Located in extracellular space and plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including genitourinary system; heart; lung; skeletal muscle; and spleen. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in lethal congenital contracture syndrome. Orthologous to human GLDN (gliomedin).
