Function
(Microbial infection) Acts as a receptor for rubella virus.
Biological Context
Subcellular Location: Cell membrane (Single-pass type I membrane protein)
Tissue Specificity: Found exclusively in the CNS, where it is localized on the surface of myelin and oligodendrocyte cytoplasmic membranes
Disease Association: Narcolepsy 7 (NRCLP7) : Neurological disabling sleep disorder, characterized by excessive daytime sleepiness, sleep fragmentation, symptoms of abnormal rapid-eye-movement (REM) sleep, cataplexy, hypnagogic hallucinations, and sleep paralysis. Cataplexy is a sudden loss of muscle tone triggered by emotions, which is the most valuable clinical feature used to diagnose narcolepsy. Human narcolepsy is primarily a sporadically occurring disorder but familial clustering has been observed. [The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry]
