This gene is a member of the cadherin superfamily, genes
encoding calcium-dependent, membrane-associated glycoproteins.
Mapped to a previously identified cluster of cadherin genes on
chromosome 16q22.1, the gene localizes with superfamily members
CDH1, CDH3, CDH5, CDH8 and CDH11. The protein consists of an
extracellular domain containing 6 cadherin domains, a transmembrane
region and a truncated cytoplasmic domain but lacks the prosequence
and tripeptide HAV adhesion recognition sequence typical of most
classical cadherins. Expression is exclusively in kidney, where the
protein functions as the principal mediator of homotypic cellular
recognition, playing a role in the morphogenic direction of tissue
development.1) Thedieck, C., et al. J. Mol. Biol. 378(1):145-153(2008)
