Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.1.0)
Enables protein heterodimerization activity and protein homodimerization activity. Involved in several processes, including homophilic cell adhesion via plasma membrane adhesion molecules; regulation of homophilic cell adhesion; and synaptic membrane adhesion. Located in plasma membrane. Is active in glutamatergic synapse and presynaptic active zone membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; branchial arch; genitourinary system; nervous system; and sensory organ. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in cocaine dependence. Orthologous to human TENM3 (teneurin transmembrane protein 3).
