DESCRIPTION

Also known as NECT1_MOUSE, Nectin1, Hvec, Prr1, Pvrl1. Involved in cell adhesion and synaptogegesis. Has some neurite outgrowth-promoting activity. Receptor for alphaherpesvirus (HSV-1, HSV-2 and pseudorabies virus) entry into cells. Cis- and trans-homodimer. Can form trans-heterodimers with NECTIN3. Interaction between NECTIN1 and NECTIN3 on the pre- and postsynaptic sites, respectively, initiates the formation of puncta adherentia junctions between axons and dendrites. Interacts (via Ig-like C2-type domain 2) with FGFR1, FGFR2 and FGFR3. Interacts (via Cytoplasmic domain) with AFDN, providing a connection with the actin cytoskeleton. Interacts with HSV glycoprotein D (gD).
