Gene Gene information from NCBI Gene database.
Entrez ID 1006
Gene name Cadherin 8
Gene symbol CDH8
Synonyms (NCBI Gene)
Nbla04261
Chromosome 16
Chromosome location 16q21
Summary This 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

Protein name Cadherin-8
Protein function 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.
