Protein attributes

Sequence length	799 AA.
Sequence status	Complete.
Sequence processing	The displayed sequence is further processed into a mature form.
Protein existence	Evidence at protein level

General annotation (Comments)

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.
Subcellular location	Cell membrane; Single-pass type I membrane protein.
Tissue specificity	Mainly expressed in brain. Found in certain nerve cell lines, such as retinoblasts, glioma cells and neuroblasts.
Sequence similarities	Contains 5 cadherin domains.
Sequence caution	The sequence AAA35628.1 differs from that shown. Reason: Erroneous initiation.
