    Summary
    This gene encodes a member of the cadherin family of calcium-dependent glycoproteins that mediate cell adhesion. The encoded preproprotein undergoes proteolytic processing to generate a mature protein. Mice lacking the encoded protein exhibit severe developmental defects resulting in embryonic death.

    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.
