Summary
This gene encodes a member of the IgLON subfamily in the immunoglobulin protein superfamily of proteins. The encoded preprotein is proteolytically processed to generate the mature protein. This protein is localized in the plasma membrane and may have an accessory role in opioid receptor function. This gene has an ortholog in rat and bovine. The opioid binding-cell adhesion molecule encoded by the rat gene binds opioid alkaloids in the presence of acidic lipids, exhibits selectivity for mu ligands and acts as a GPI-anchored protein. Since the encoded protein is highly conserved in species during evolution, it may have a fundamental role in mammalian systems. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants, at least one of which encodes an isoform that is proteolytically processed. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2016]

  7. Human opioid-binding protein/cell adhesion molecule (OPCML) is expressed in many tissues and localizes to the plasma membrane. It is a putative tumor suppressor that acts on receptor tyrosine kinases, influencing cell cycle arrest, apoptosis, and migration. Its expression is silenced epigenetically in cancer, inferring potential diagnostic, prognostic, and therapeutic roles. [Review]

Hypermethylation of the studied OPCML promoter produced no effect on OPCML protein expression in Grade 2 tumors but revealed downregulation in Grade 3 tumors.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
