Domain:The olfactomedin-like domain mediates NFASC/neurofascin and NRCAM binding.,Function:Plays a role in the formation of the nodes of Ranvier along myelinated axons. Probable NRCAM and NFASC/neurofascin ligand which may provide a glial positional clue required for the proper molecular assembly of the nodes of Ranvier.,similarity:Contains 1 olfactomedin-like domain.,similarity:Contains 2 collagen-like domains.,subcellular location:Localizes to the nodes of Ranvier.,subunit:Interacts with NFASC/neurofascin and NRCAM.,tissue specificity:Specifically expressed in spinal cord, brain, placenta and sciatic nerve. More abundant in peripheral than central nervous system.,

Cellular Localization:
Cell membrane ; Single-pass type II membrane protein . Cell projection, axon . Detected at the nodes of Ranvier. Detected at immature heminodes. .; [Gliomedin shedded ectodomain]: Secreted . Secreted, extracellular space, extracellular matrix . Proteolytic processing gives rise to a soluble extracellular domain that is secreted. The gliomedin shedded ectodomain localizes to the nodes of Ranvier. .
