Afadin iso3 Belongs to an adhesion system, probably together with the E-cadherin-catenin system, which plays a role in the organization of homotypic, interneuronal and heterotypic cell-cell adherens junctions (AJs). Nectin- and actin-filament-binding protein that connects nectin to the actin cytoskeleton. 2 alternatively spliced human isoforms have been reported. Note: This description may include information from UniProtKB.
