Cdh15

This gene encodes a member of the cadherin family of calcium-dependent glycoproteins that mediate cell adhesion and regulate many morphogenetic events during development. The encoded preproprotein is further processed to generate a mature protein. Based on the expression of this gene in skeletal muscle, satellite cells and cerebellum, it was postulated that the encoded protein may be important for muscle development and regeneration. Mice lacking the encoded protein appear normal and display no discernible defects in skeletal musculature. Multiple distinct genes of the cadherin family, including this gene, are found on chromosome 8. [provided by RefSeq, Nov 2015]

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 mouse Cdh15 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
