| Function |
Cadherins are calcium-dependent cell adhesion proteins. They preferentially interact with themselves in a homophilic manner in connecting cells; cadherins may thus contribute to the sorting of heterogeneous cell types. May play an important role in retinal development.
|
| Subcellular Location |
Cell membrane; Single-pass type I membrane protein.
|
| Tissue Specificity |
Expressed mainly in brain but also found in other tissues.
