Caenorhabditis elegans Predicted to enable calcium ion binding activity. Predicted to be involved in homophilic cell adhesion via plasma membrane adhesion molecules. Predicted to be located in membrane. Expressed in several structures, including QL; QR; VD neuron; non-striated muscle; and rectal gland cell. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in carcinoma (multiple); colorectal cancer; and spinocerebellar ataxia 45. Is an ortholog of human FAT1 (FAT atypical cadherin 1); FAT2 (FAT atypical cadherin 2); and FAT3 (FAT atypical cadherin 3).
