Gene Type | protein-coding |
Organism | Mus musculus(house mouse) |
Genome | |
Summary | This gene encodes a member of the cadherin family of calcium-dependent glycoproteins that mediate cell adhesion. The encoded preproprotein undergoes proteolytic processing to generate a mature protein. Mice lacking the encoded protein exhibit severe developmental defects resulting in embryonic death.
