Summary

Enables cell adhesion molecule binding activity and signaling receptor binding activity. Involved in retrograde trans-synaptic signaling by trans-synaptic protein complex. Located in cell-cell junction and plasma membrane. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

Forensic Context

A study in humans demonstrated that the TENM2 was identified as a high-confidence gene in common between mice and humans within the top 10% of genes related to lifetime alcohol consumption [Farris et al. DOI:10.1038/Mp.2014.159].
