Function
Integral membrane protein associated with integrins, which regulates different processes, such as sperm-egg fusion, platelet activation and aggregation, and cell adhesion. Present at the cell surface of oocytes and plays a key role in sperm-egg fusion, possibly by organizing multiprotein complexes and the morphology of the membrane required for the fusion. In myoblasts, associates with CD81 and PTGFRN and inhibits myotube fusion during muscle regeneration.
Biological Context
Subcellular Location: Cell membrane (Multi-pass membrane protein); Membrane (Multi-pass membrane protein); Secreted, extracellular exosome
Tissue Specificity: Expressed predominantly in the peripheral nervous system. Highly expressed in oocytes and blastocysts (at protein level). Expression is also observed on follicular oocytes in the ovary, whereas no expression is found on follicular cells (at protein level). Expressed in skeletal muscle mainly in endothelial cells of endomysial capillaries, in satellite cells and myoblasts (at protein level)
