This gene encodes a protein that contains olfactomedin-like and collagen-like domains. The encoded protein, which exists in both transmembrane and secreted forms, promotes formation of the nodes of Ranvier in the peripheral nervous system. Mutations in th

Ligand for NRCAM and NFASC/neurofascin that plays a role in the formation and maintenance of the nodes of Ranvier on myelinated axons. Mediates interaction between Schwann cell microvilli and axons via its interactions with NRCAM and NFASC. Node
TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Specifically expressed in spinal cord, brain, placenta and sciatic nerve. More abundant in peripheral than central nervous system. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:16039564}.
