Function

Cell adhesion molecule that promotes cell-cell adhesion through heterophilic trans-interactions with nectins-like or other nectins, such as trans-interaction with NECTIN2 at Sertoli-spermatid junctions (PubMed:16216929). Trans-interaction with PVR induces activation of CDC42 and RAC small G proteins through common signaling molecules such as SRC and RAP1 (PubMed:16216929). Induces endocytosis-mediated down-regulation of PVR from the cell surface, resulting in reduction of cell movement and proliferation (PubMed:16216929). Involved in axon guidance by promoting contacts between the commissural axons and the floor plate cells (By similarity). Also involved in the formation of cell-cell junctions, including adherens junctions and synapses (By similarity). Promotes formation of checkerboard-like cellular pattern of hair cells and supporting cells in the auditory epithelium via heterophilic interaction with NECTIN1: NECTIN1 is present in the membrane of hair cells and associates with NECTIN3 on supporting cells, thereby mediating heterotypic adhesion between these two cell types (By similarity). Plays a role in the morphology of the ciliary body (By similarity).

Activity summary

Nectin-3 also known as CD113 or PVRL3 is an immunoglobulin-like cell adhesion molecule. It plays an important role in cell-cell adhesion by forming homo- and heterophilic trans-dimers with other nectins and nectin-like molecules. Nectin-3 has a molecular mass of approximately 83 kDa. Its expression is generally observed in neural tissues such as the brain as well as in testis and various epithelial tissues. This distribution allows it to contribute to diverse cellular interactions critical for tissue organization and development.

Biological function summary

Nectin-3 participates in the formation and maintenance of adherens junctions by interacting with cadherins and actin filaments. It is a member of the Nectin family which includes Nectin-1 Nectin-2 and Nectin-4 known for their roles in cell adhesion. The function of Nectin-3 is integral to the establishment of tight junctions contributing to the structural integrity and function of epithelial and endothelial cells. It often works as part of a complex with afadin which supports its connection to the actin cytoskeleton.

Pathways

Nectin-3 acts in the formation of synapses and is involved in signaling pathways related to cell adhesion such as the actin cytoskeleton regulation pathway. It plays a significant role in the activation of the Ras and Rac small GTPase signaling pathways facilitating changes in cytoskeletal dynamics during cell movement and morphogenesis. Nectin-3 closely associates with other proteins in the Nectin family such as Nectin-1 and Nectin-2 in these pathways enhancing intercellular communication.

Associated diseases and disorders

Mutations or dysregulation of Nectin-3 have been linked to conditions like mental retardation and developmental abnormalities. It is particularly relevant in the context of intellectual disability where alterations in cell adhesion and signaling can impair proper neuronal connectivity and brain function. Furthermore Nectin-3 interacts with PVRL proteins highlighting its possible involvement in cancer progression and metastasis through altered cell adhesion properties.
