Function
Adhesion molecule that engages in homo- and heterophilic interactions with the other nectin-like family members, leading to cell aggregation. Important for synapse organization, providing regulated trans-synaptic adhesion. Preferentially binds to oligodendrocytes.
The down-regulation of miR-29b is thought to promote DNA hypermethylation in AML since miR-29b can directly target DNMT3A, DNMT3B, and Sp1 (a transcriptional regulator of DNMT2
