Abstract
⺠KIAA1462 gene is known to be associated with coronary artery disease. ⺠We identify KIAA1462 protein as a novel component of cell-cell junctions. ⺠KIAA1462 protein exclusively localizes at cell-cell junctions in endothelial cells. ⺠The localization of KIAA1462 protein depends on VE-cadherin-mediated cell adhesion.
