General annotation (Comments)

Function

Calcium-dependent cell-adhesion protein By similarity. May play a role in activity-induced synaptic reorganization underlying long term memory By similarity. Could be involved in CDH2 internalization through TAOK2/p38 MAPK pathway. In hippocampal neurons, may play a role in the down-regulation of dendritic spines, maybe through its action on CDH2 endocytosis By similarity.

Subunit structure

The N-terminal extracellular domain forms homophilic interactions; these interactions activate p38 MAPK via TAOK2 and trigger endocytosis By similarity. Interacts with CDH2; this interaction may lead to CDH2 cointernalization By similarity. Interacts with CDH11 By similarity. Interacts with TAOK2 By similarity.

Subcellular location

Cell membrane; Single-pass type I membrane protein By similarity. Cell projectiondendrite By similarity. Cell junctionsynapsepresynaptic cell membrane. Cell junctionsynapsepostsynaptic cell membrane. Note: Also expressed in neuronal cell bodies By similarity. Localized to excitatory, but not with inhibitory, synapses By similarity.

Sequence similarities

Contains 6 cadherin domains.

Alternative products

This entry describes 3 isoforms produced by alternative splicing. [Align] [Select]
Isoform 1 (identifier: O95206-1)

This isoform has been chosen as the 'canonical' sequence. All positional information in this entry refers to it. This is also the sequence that appears in the downloadable versions of the entry.
Isoform 2 (identifier: O95206-2)

The sequence of this isoform differs from the canonical sequence as follows:
     780-876: Missing.
Isoform 3 (identifier: O95206-3)

The sequence of this isoform differs from the canonical sequence as follows:
     134-607: Missing.
Note: No experimental confirmation available.
