PVRL1, Also known as Nectin1, it is a receptor like protein with an immunoglobulin like extracellular domain that plays a role in the initiation and maintenance of epithelial adhesion connections. There are four known types of nectin, Nectin1-4, each with an extracellular domain, transmembrane domain, and intracellular domain. PVRL1 is also one of the three known major receptors for alpha herpesvirus binding and entry Nectins and Necls are involved in the formation of various intercellular adhesions and play critical roles in various cellular functions, including cell movement, proliferation, survival, and differentiation. Therefore, nectins are crucial for the physiology and pathology of multicellular organisms.
