Cdh22 - cadherin 22 Gene

Predicted to enable Cadherin binding activity and calcium ion binding activity. Predicted to be involved in calcium-dependent cell-cell adhesion via plasma membrane cell adhesion molecules; cell morphogenesis; and cell-cell junction organization. Predicted to be located in plasma membrane. Predicted to be integral component of membrane. Predicted to be part of catenin complex. Predicted to be active in adherens junction. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; heart; limb; limb bud; and retina. Orthologous to human CDH22 (Cadherin 22). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
