Fat2 - FAT atypical cadherin 2

Predicted to enable calcium ion binding activity. Involved in homophilic cell adhesion via plasma membrane adhesion molecules. Predicted to be located in Golgi apparatus and plasma membrane. Predicted to be integral component of membrane. Predicted to be active in adherens junction. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in spinocerebellar ataxia 45. Orthologous to human FAT2 (FAT atypical cadherin 2). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
