Nectin 2 also known as CD112 is a transmembrane cell adhesion molecule belonging to the immunoglobulin superfamily. It plays a critical role in mediating cell-cell adhesion by forming homophilic and heterophilic interactions with other nectins. The protein has a mass of approximately 65 kDa and shows high expression in epithelial and endothelial cells. Nectin 2 has been identified in various tissues including the skin lung and kidney reflecting its importance in maintaining tissue integrity.
Biological function summary
Nectin 2 facilitates cell adhesion and communication playing an important role in the formation of adherens junctions. It serves as part of a larger biological complex with proteins such as afadin linking it to the actin cytoskeleton. Through these interactions Nectin 2 influences the signaling pathways that regulate tissue development and maintenance. Its ability to bind herpes virus entry mediator A (HVEM) further demonstrates its function in viral entry highlighting its diverse biological roles.
Pathways
Nectin 2 participates in the cell adhesion and immune response pathways. It works closely with Nectin 1 and Cadherins within these pathways to mediate cell-cell junction formation and signaling. The interaction of Nectin 2 with intracellular proteins like afadin facilitates its role in the immunological synapse a critical zone for immune cell signaling. These pathways highlight its significance in both maintaining cellular architecture and modulating immune responses.
Nectin 2 relates to cancer and viral infections. Its altered expression or dysfunction has links with tumor progression and metastasis particularly in epithelial-origin cancers like colorectal cancer. Through its role as a herpesvirus entry receptor it also connects to herpes simplex virus (HSV) infections. The interactions between Nectin 2 and other nectins such as Nectin 3 may affect cell proliferation and viral entry expanding the understanding of its involvement in disease mechanisms.
