What pLDDT means and how to read it

Function

Receptor component of the CCM signaling pathway which is a crucial regulator of heart and vessel formation and integrity. May act through the stabilization of endothelial cell junctions

Subunit structure

Interacts with CCM2 and KRIT1; KRIT1 markedly facilitates interaction with CCM2

Subcellular location

Cell membrane, Cell junction, Secreted
