About CDH8

Cytogenetic location: 16q21 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 16:61,647,250-62,036,438 (from NCBI)

This gene has 14 transcripts (splice variants), 213 orthologues and 33 paralogues. Biased expression in brain (RPKM 2.8) and ovary (RPKM 0.2).

Summary

This gene encodes a type II classical cadherin from the cadherin superfamily, integral membrane proteins that mediate calcium-dependent cell-cell adhesion. Mature cadherin proteins are composed of a large N-terminal extracellular domain, a single membrane-spanning domain, and a small, highly conserved C-terminal cytoplasmic domain. The extracellular domain consists of 5 subdomains, each containing a cadherin motif, and appears to determine the specificity of the protein's homophilic cell adhesion activity. Type II (atypical) Cadherins are defined based on their lack of a HAV cell adhesion recognition sequence specific to type I Cadherins. This particular cadherin is expressed in brain and is putatively involved in synaptic adhesion, axon outgrowth and guidance. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
