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. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]. * **UniProt Summary**: Cadherins are calcium-dependent cell adhesion proteins. They preferentially interact with themselves in a homophilic manner in connecting cells; cadherins may thus contribute to the sorting of heterogeneous cell types. |Cadherin C| |Cadherin| |synaptic membrane adhesion| |cell-cell adhesion mediated by cadherin| |catenin complex| |integral component of postsynaptic membrane| |calcium-dependent cell-cell adhesion via plasma membrane cell adhesion molecules| |integral component of presynaptic membrane| |cytoskeletal protein binding| |adherens junction organization| |synapse assembly| |cell-cell adherens junction| |cell-cell junction assembly| |cell-cell junction organization| |cell junction assembly| |homophilic cell adhesion via plasma membrane adhesion molecules| |cell junction organization| |cell-cell adhesion via plasma-membrane adhesion molecules| |synapse organization| |cadherin binding| |cell-cell adhesion| |cell surface| |calcium ion binding| |cell morphogenesis| |molecular function| |cellular component morphogenesis| |protein homodimerization activity| |cell adhesion| |biological adhesion| \\ === CRISPR Data === No hits were found.
