Summary
Predicted to enable cadherin binding activity and calcium ion binding activity. Involved in female gonad development. Predicted to be located in cell junction; nucleoplasm; and plasma membrane. Predicted to be part of catenin complex. Predicted to be active in adherens junction. Orthologous to human CDH6 (cadherin 6). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
