Cdh12 Gene Summary [Rat]

Predicted to enable beta-catenin binding activity and cadherin binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including calcium-dependent cell-cell adhesion via plasma membrane cell adhesion molecules; cell-cell adhesion mediated by cadherin; and cell-cell junction organization. Predicted to be part of catenin complex. Predicted to be active in adherens junction. Orthologous to human CDH12 (cadherin 12). [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 Cdh12 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
  • Bacterial cadherin-like domain
  • Cadherin, Y-type LIR-motif
  • Cadherin repeat-like domain
