Description
Exhibits protein heterodimerization activity. Involved in hematopoietic or lymphoid organ development and myoblast fusion. Predicted to localize to integral component of plasma membrane; protein complex involved in cell adhesion; and tight junction. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in basal ganglia calcification. Is expressed in several structures, including blood vessel; musculature system; myoblast; nervous system; and pectoral fin bud. Orthologous to human JAM2 (junctional adhesion molecule 2).
