function:Cadherins are calcium dependent cell adhesion proteins.,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.,similarity:Contains 5 cadherin domains.,tissue specificity:Expressed mainly in brain but also found in other tissues.,
Cell membrane; Single-pass type I membrane protein.
Expressed mainly in brain but also found in other tissues.
