Immunofluorescence staining of HepG2 cells with PACO60216 at 1:133, counter-stained with DAPI. The cells were fixed in 4% formaldehyde, permeabilized using 0.2% Triton X-100 and blocked in 10% normal Goat Serum. The cells were then incubated with the antibody overnight at 4°C. The secondary antibody was Alexa Fluor 488-congugated AffiniPure Goat Anti-Rabbit IgG(H+L).
Background:
Synaptic adhesion molecule required for the formation of target-specific synapses. Required for formation of target-specific synapses at hippocampal mossy fiber synapses. Required for formation of mossy fiber filopodia, the synaptic structures connecting dentate granule and GABA neurons. Probably acts as a homophilic adhesion molecule that promotes trans-cellular interactions and stabilize mossy fiber filipodia contact and subsequent synapse formation. Required for the coalescence of vomeronasal sensory neuron axons. May be involved in the hematopoietic supportive capacity of stroma cells; the secreted extracellular domain is directly responsible for supporting hematopoietic stem cells.

UniProt Protein Function:
KIRREL3: Could be involved in the hematopoietic supportive capacity of stroma cells. A chromosomal aberration involving KIRREL3 and CDH15 is found in a patient with severe mental retardation and dysmorphic facial features. Translocation t(11;16)(q24.2;q24). Defects in KIRREL3 are the cause of mental retardation autosomal dominant type 4 (MRD4). Mental retardation is characterized by significantly sub-average general intellectual functioning associated with impairments in adaptative behavior and manifested during the developmental period. Belongs to the immunoglobulin superfamily. 2 isoforms of the human protein are produced by alternative splicing.Protein type: Membrane protein, integralChromosomal Location of Human Ortholog: 11q24Cellular Component: axon; plasma membrane; extracellular region; integral to membrane; dendritic shaftMolecular Function: protein bindingBiological Process: pontine nucleus development; neuron migration; hemopoiesis; neurite morphogenesisDisease: Mental Retardation, Autosomal Dominant 4

NCBI Summary:
The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the nephrin-like protein family. These proteins are expressed in fetal and adult brain, and also in podocytes of kidney glomeruli. The cytoplasmic domains of these proteins interact with the C-terminus of podocin, also expressed in the podocytes, cells involved in ensuring size- and charge-selective ultrafiltration. Mutations in this gene are associated with mental retardation autosomal dominant type 4 (MRD4). Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.[provided by RefSeq, Sep 2009]
