Function Summary
- Entrez Summary: This gene belongs to the cadherin superfamily of calcium-dependent cell adhesion molecules. The encoded protein is a photoreceptor-specific cadherin that plays a role in outer segment disc morphogenesis. Mutations in this gene are associated with inherited retinal dystrophies. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been identified. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2013].
- UniProt Summary: Potential calcium-dependent cell-adhesion protein. May be required for the structural integrity of the outer segment (OS) of photoreceptor cells (By similarity). {ECO:0000250}.
