GENE INFORMATION
Gene name
CDH22 (HGNC Symbol)
Synonyms
C20orf25, dJ998H6.1
Description
Cadherin 22, type 2 (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
This gene is a member of the cadherin superfamily. The gene product is composed of five cadherin repeat domains and a cytoplasmic tail similar to the highly conserved cytoplasmic region of classical cadherins. Expressed predominantly in the brain, this putative calcium-dependent cell adhesion protein may play an important role in morphogenesis and tissue formation in neural and non-neural cells during development and maintenance of the brain and neuroendocrine organs.
