Jam3 - junction adhesion molecule 3

Enables identical protein binding activity and integrin binding activity. Involved in angiogenesis; cell-cell adhesion; and hematopoietic stem cell migration to bone marrow. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including leukocyte migration involved in inflammatory response; myeloid progenitor cell differentiation; and regulation of actin cytoskeleton organization by cell-cell adhesion. Located in Schmidt-Lanterman incisure; bicellular tight junction; and paranodal junction. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; eye; genitourinary system; and immune system. Orthologous to human JAM3 (junctional adhesion molecule 3).
