Also Known as Cdh7; CDH7L3
Species: Homo sapiens
About CDH20
This gene has 4 transcripts (splice variants), 211 orthologues and 33 paralogues. Biased expression in brain (RPKM 10.7) and fat (RPKM 4.1).
Summary
This gene is a type II classical Cadherin from the Cadherin superfamily and one of three Cadherin 7-like genes located in a cluster on chromosome 18. The encoded membrane protein is a calcium dependent cell-cell adhesion glycoprotein comprised of five extracellular Cadherin repeats, a transmembrane region and a highly conserved cytoplasmic tail. Type II (atypical) Cadherins are defined based on their lack of a HAV cell adhesion recognition sequence specific to type I Cadherins. Since disturbance of intracellular adhesion is a prerequisite for invasion and metastasis of tumor cells, Cadherins are considered prime candidates for tumor suppressor genes.
