Cdh26 Gene Summary [Rat]

Predicted to enable several functions, including alpha-catenin binding activity; beta-catenin binding activity; and cell adhesion molecule 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 located in microtubule cytoskeleton and plasma membrane. Predicted to be part of catenin complex. Predicted to be active in adherens junction. Orthologous to human CDH26 (cadherin 26). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 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 Cdh26 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
