NECL4 (Nectin-like protein 4), also known as IgSF4C and CADM4 (cell adhesion molecule 4), is a single pass type I transmembrane glycoprotein that belongs to the Nectin family of the Ig (immunoglobulin) superfamily.  Most Nectin family members function as cell adhesion molecules (CAMs) located on the cell surface and involved with the binding with other cells or with the extracellular matrix (ECM). Like other Nectin members, NECL4 contains 1 Ig-like V-type domain and 2 Ig-like C2-type domains in the extracellular region that interacts either with other CAMs of the same kind (homophilic binding) or with other CAMs or the extracellular matrix (heterophilic binding) in a Ca2+-independent manner. NECL4 is expressed in brain, prostate, brain, kidney and some other organs. NECL4 is involved in the cell-cell adhesion with calcium- and magnesium-independent cell-cell adhesion activity. In the brain, NECL4 is expressed at high levels concurrent with synapse formation. Heterophilic interaction with NECL1 and NECL3 has also been identified.  IGSF4C may also function as a tumor suppressor that is down-regulated in prostate cancers and gliomas.

Primers: Gene insert coding sequence can be confirmed by following primers:

(a) forward (or 5'-end) primer: 5’-CAAATGGGCGGTAGGCGTG-3’;

(b) reverse (or 3'-end) primer: 5’-CGGGAAGCAATAGCATGATA-3’

 

 

Note: The sequence may vary due to the naturally occurring variants or mutations, such as single nucleotide polymorphism, or the artifact during PCR amplification.  High fidelity PCR systems should always be used.
