Protein function (UniProt)

Hepatic and glial cell adhesion molecule

Involved in regulating cell motility and cell-matrix interactions. May inhibit cell growth through suppression of cell proliferation (PubMed:15885354, PubMed:15917256). In glia, associates and targets CLCN2 at astrocytic processes and myelinated fiber tracts where it may regulate transcellular chloride flux involved in neuron excitability (PubMed:22405205)
