General annotation (Comments)

Function	May be involved in the cell-cell adhesion. May play a role in adipocyte differentiation and development of obesity. Ref.1 Ref.5

Tissue specificity	Predominantly expressed in epithelial cells within different tissues and in the white adipose tissue. Expressed at high levels in small intestine and placenta, at intermediate levels in the heart, skeletal muscle, colon, spleen, kidney and lung and at low levels in the liver and peripheral blood leukocytes. Ref.1 Ref.5
Induction	Up-regulated in mature adipocytes and adipocyte tissue of obese individuals. Ref.1
Sequence similarities	Contains 2 Ig-like C2-type (immunoglobulin-like) domains.
