Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Predicted to enable protein binding activity involved in heterotypic cell-cell adhesion and thrombospondin receptor activity. Involved in regulation of nitric oxide biosynthetic process. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including monocyte aggregation; opsonization; and positive regulation of phagocytosis. Located in extracellular exosome and plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; genitourinary system; hemolymphoid system gland; and liver and biliary system. Orthologous to human CD47 (CD47 molecule).
