Scope note: Molécula de adhesión celular que se expresa en las membranas de casi todas las CÉLULAS EPITELIALES, especialmente en las uniones entre las células epiteliales del intestino y los LINFOCITOS intraepiteliales. También se expresa en la superficie de las células tumorales epiteliales y del ADENOCARCINOMA. En la MUCOSA puede proporcionar una barrera frente a la infección mediante interacciones homofílicas. También regula la proliferación y diferenciación de las CÉLULAS MADRE EMBRIONARIAS.

Scope note: A cell adhesion molecule that is expressed on the membranes of nearly all EPITHELIAL CELLS, especially at the junctions between intestinal epithelial cells and intraepithelial LYMPHOCYTES. It also is expressed on the surface of ADENOCARCINOMA and epithelial tumor cells. It may function in the MUCOSA through homophilic interactions to provide a barrier against infection. It also regulates the proliferation and differentiation of EMBRYONIC STEM CELLS.
