Cdhr2 Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable cell adhesion molecule binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including cell-cell adhesion mediated by cadherin; intermicrovillar adhesion; and negative regulation of cell growth involved in contact inhibition. Predicted to be located in apical plasma membrane; brush border membrane; and microvillus membrane. Predicted to be active in plasma membrane. Orthologous to human CDHR2 (cadherin related family member 2). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2025]

Protein Domains
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 rat Cdhr2 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
