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. This cadherin may play a important role in endothelial cell biology through control of the cohesion and organization of the intercellular junctions. It associates with alpha-catenin forming a link to the cytoskeleton.,similarity:Contains 5 cadherin domains.,subcellular location:Found at cell-cell boundaries and probably at cell-matrix boundaries.,tissue specificity:Endothelial tissues and brain.,
Cell junction . Cell membrane ; Single-pass type I membrane protein . Found at cell-cell boundaries and probably at cell-matrix boundaries. KRIT1 and CDH5 reciprocally regulate their localization to endothelial cell-cell junctions. .
