Cdh18 - cadherin 18

Predicted to enable cadherin binding activity and calcium ion binding activity. Predicted to be involved in calcium-dependent cell-cell adhesion via plasma membrane cell adhesion molecules; cell morphogenesis; and cell-cell junction organization. Predicted to be part of catenin complex. Predicted to be active in adherens junction. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; eye; and testis. Orthologous to human CDH18 (cadherin 18). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
