DCHS2

This gene encodes a large protein that contains many cadherin domains and likely functions in cell adhesion. Genome-wide association studies suggest that this gene may be important in Alzheimer's disease, compressive strength index, and appendicular lean mass. [provided by RefSeq, May 2017]

A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in human DCHS2 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
