GENE INFORMATION
Gene name
DCHS1 (HGNC Symbol)
Synonyms
CDH25, CDHR6, FIB1, FLJ11790, KIAA1773, PCDH16
Description
Dachsous cadherin-related 1 (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
This gene is a member of the cadherin superfamily whose members encode calcium-dependent cell-cell adhesion molecules. The encoded protein has a signal peptide, 27 cadherin repeat domains and a unique cytoplasmic region. This particular cadherin family member is expressed in fibroblasts but not in melanocytes or keratinocytes. The cell-cell adhesion of fibroblasts is thought to be necessary for wound healing.
