Predicted to enable LRR domain binding activity and phosphatase binding activity. Involved in commissural neuron axon guidance and regulation of semaphorin-plexin signaling pathway. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including homotypic cell-cell adhesion; positive regulation of calcium-mediated signaling; and regulation of exocyst assembly. Located in several cellular components, including external side of plasma membrane; growth cone; and neuronal cell body. Is expressed in several structures, including embryo mesenchyme; nervous system; sensory organ; skin; and urinary system. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in bipolar disorder; middle cerebral artery infarction; and pancreatic cancer. Orthologous to human NCAM1 (neural cell adhesion molecule 1).
