Cdh6 - cadherin 6 Gene

Also Known as cad6

Species: Mus musculus

Gene Type: protein coding
Gene ID: 12563

Summary

This gene encodes a member of the Cadherin family of calcium-dependent glycoproteins that mediate cell adhesion and regulate many morphogenetic events during development. The encoded preproprotein is further processed to generate a mature protein. Mice lacking the encoded protein exhibit delay in mesenchyme-to-epithelial conversion and a loss of nephrons. Multiple distinct genes of the Cadherin family, including this gene, are found on chromosome 15. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2015]
