Cdh5 - cadherin 5

Predicted to enable several functions, including beta-catenin binding activity; enzyme binding activity; and signaling receptor binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including cell-cell junction organization; regulation of protein modification process; and regulation of protein-containing complex assembly. Predicted to act upstream of or within blood vessel maturation; cell-cell adhesion; and negative regulation of cell population proliferation. Predicted to be located in cell-cell junction; external side of plasma membrane; and nucleus. Predicted to be part of catenin complex. Predicted to be active in adherens junction and bicellular tight junction. Biomarker of pulmonary hypertension. Orthologous to human CDH5 (cadherin 5).
