May play a role in activity-induced synaptic reorganization underlying long term memory (By similarity). Could be involved in CDH2 internalization through TAOK2/p38 MAPK pathway. In hippocampal neurons, may play a role in the down-regulation of dendritic spines, maybe through its action on CDH2 endocytosis (By similarity). {ECO:0000250}. |Cadherin| |Cadherin 2| |regulation of synaptic membrane adhesion| |integral component of postsynaptic membrane| |somitogenesis| |presynaptic membrane| |somite development| |segmentation| |morphogenesis of embryonic epithelium| |homophilic cell adhesion via plasma membrane adhesion molecules| |anterior/posterior pattern specification| |regulation of synapse organization| |regulation of synapse structure or activity| |cell-cell adhesion via plasma-membrane adhesion molecules| |regionalization| |glutamatergic synapse| |regulation of cell-cell adhesion| |chemical synaptic transmission| |dendrite| |anterograde trans-synaptic signaling| |morphogenesis of an epithelium| |pattern specification process| |trans-synaptic signaling| |synaptic signaling| |cell-cell adhesion| |cell junction| |tissue morphogenesis| |embryonic morphogenesis| |chordate embryonic development| |embryo development ending in birth or egg hatching| |regulation of cell adhesion| |calcium ion binding| |anatomical structure formation involved in morphogenesis| |cell adhesion| |biological adhesion| |embryo development| |epithelium development| |cell-cell signaling| |integral component of plasma membrane| |tissue development| \\ === CRISPR Data === ^Screen^Score^ |[[:results:exp529|Thimerosal 0.85μM R08 exp529]]|-1.86| |[[:results:exp275|Citral 75μM R06 exp275]]|1.75| |[[:results:exp352|Dexamethasone 0.006 to 0.015μM on day4 R07 exp352]]|1.76| No correlation found to any other genes in chemogenomics.
