Summary: Enables beta-catenin binding activity; nitric-oxide synthase binding activity; and protein tyrosine kinase binding activity. Involved in several processes, including calcium-dependent cell-cell adhesion via plasma membrane cell adhesion molecules; regulation of Rho protein signal transduction; and regulation of myelination. Located in several cellular components, including T-tubule; adherens junction; and fascia adherens. Part of protein-containing complex. Is active in glutamatergic synapse. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in agenesis of corpus callosum, cardiac, ocular, and genital syndrome; arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy; and arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia 14. Orthologous to human CDH2 (cadherin 2). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
