Function
Inhibits activities of membrane-bound isoforms by competing for the same interaction partners. Inhibits cell attachment via homotypic interactions. Promotes endothelial cell migration.
Biological Context
Subcellular Location: Secreted
Tissue Specificity: Detected on hematopoietic stem cells derived from umbilical cord blood. Detected on lymph vessel endothelial cells, skin and tonsil. Detected on peripheral blood monocytes. Detected on monocyte-derived dendritic cells (at protein level). Detected at low levels in spleen, placenta, liver. Expressed by activated T-cells, B-cells, monocytes and thymic epithelial cells. Isoform 1 and isoform 3 are detected in vein and artery endothelial cells, astrocytes, keratinocytes and artery smooth muscle cells. Expressed by neurons in the brain. Restricted expression in tumor cell lines. Detected in highly metastasizing melanoma cell lines
