UniProtKB description: Calcium-dependent cell-adhesion protein (PubMed:21115806). Essential for the early stages of neurulation in the anterior neural plate (PubMed:19615992). Shows little cell adhesion activity on its own but exhibits robust homophilic cell adhesion when in a complex with cadherin cdh2 and appears to mediate the adhesion while cdh2 acts as a cell adhesion cofactor in the complex (PubMed:21115806, PubMed:22184198, PubMed:33004519). Functions with cdh2 to coordinate cell adhesion and cell movements during neurulation (PubMed:21115806). Contributes to neural progenitor cell patterning with cdh2 by promoting homophilic cell interactions (PubMed:33004519). Regulates the columnar organization of neurons in the optic tectum (PubMed:26598617).
