Gene information for CDH9 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID1007
Official gene symbolCDH9
Full namecadherin 9, type 2 (T1-cadherin)
Aliases,MGC125386,
Gene summaryThis gene encodes a type II classical cadherin from the cadherin superfamily, integral membrane proteins that mediate calcium-dependent cell-cell adhesion. 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]
