Cdh8 - cadherin 8 Gene

Predicted to enable Cadherin binding activity; calcium ion binding activity; and identical protein binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including calcium-dependent cell-cell adhesion via plasma membrane cell adhesion molecules; cell-cell junction organization; and glutamatergic synaptic transmission. Predicted to act upstream of or within chemical synaptic transmission and response to cold. Predicted to be located in plasma membrane. Predicted to be part of catenin complex. Predicted to be active in several cellular components, including adherens junction; glutamatergic synapse; and synaptic cleft. Orthologous to human CDH8 (Cadherin 8).
