    Summary
    Enables protein homodimerization activity. Involved in several processes, including cell adhesion involved in heart morphogenesis; homophilic cell adhesion via plasma membrane adhesion molecules; and regulation of tube architecture, open tracheal system. Located in septate junction. Is expressed in several structures, including ectoderm; ectoderm anlage; extended germ band embryo; neuron projection bundle; and presumptive embryonic/larval system. Orthologous to human NEGR1 (neuronal growth regulator 1). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
