Anti-CD155 (Poliovirus Receptor, Nectin-like Protein 5, NECL-5, PVR, PVS)

The poliovirus receptor (PVR) is a transmembrane glycoprotein belonging to the immunoglobulin superfamily. PVR is involved in intercellular adhesion and its cytoplasmic domain may target endocytic vesicles to the microtubular network. The extracellular domain of PVR mediates cell attachment to the extracellular matrix molecule vitronectin, while its cytoplasmic domain interacts with the dynein light chain Tctex-1. PVR is a primate-restricted protein expressed during development in mesenchymal tissues and ventrally derived structures within the CNS. Its exact biological function remains to be determined, it is reported that PVR is aberrantly expressed in tumors of neuroectodermal origin.
