DNA/RNA

Description

The PVRL4 gene spans 17.85 kb, consists of 9 exons and 8 introns.

Transcription

The human Nectin-4 mRNA consists of 1458 or 1533 bases (alternative splice forms).

Proteins

Note

Nectin-4 belongs to the family of adhesion molecules: Nectins. Four members have been described ( Nectin-1, Nectin-2, Nectin-3 and Nectin-4). Nectins belong to the immunoglobulin superfamily and exhibit three Ig-like domain in their extracellular region.

Atlas Image

Extracellular region of dimeric Nectin-4 is composed with three Ig domains of Ig V and IgC types. The last 4 aminoacids in the C-terminus region binds to the scaffold F-actin binding protein AF-6/afadin. Nectin-4 ectodomain is shedded from cell surface by the metalloprotease TACE/ ADAM-17.

Description

Nectin-4 protein is 510 aminoacid long. Molecular weight is 66 kDa.

Expression

Nectin-4 expression in mainly expressed during development. In mice Nectin-4 transcript are detected at day 11 d.p.c. In human Nectin-4 is not expressed in adult tissues.

Localisation

Nectin-4 is expressed at epithelial adherens junctions. In tumors Nectin-4 expression can be observed in the cytoplasm.

Function

Nectin-4 binds Nectin-1 through IgV domain interaction. Nectin-1 is involved in development. Nectin-4 increases tumor cell migration.

Homology

With other members of the family.

Implicated in

Entity name

Breast carcinoma of basal subtypes.

Disease

Nectin-4 is found in breast tumors and its expression correlates with the basal subtype. The soluble form is detected in sera of patients with metastatic breast carcinoma and is a marker of disease progression.

Prognosis

Adverse prognosis.
