Cadherin-15 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the CDH15 gene. [5] [6]
This gene is a member of the cadherin superfamily of genes, encoding calcium-dependent intercellular adhesion glycoproteins. Cadherins consist of an extracellular domain containing 5 cadherin domains, a transmembrane region, and a conserved cytoplasmic domain. Transcripts from this particular cadherin are expressed in myoblasts and upregulated in myotubule-forming cells. The protein is thought to be essential for the control of morphogenetic processes, specifically myogenesis, and may provide a trigger for terminal muscle cell differentiation. [6]
Cadherin-2 also known as Neural cadherin (N-cadherin), is a protein that in humans is encoded by the CDH2 gene. CDH2 has also been designated as CD325 . Cadherin-2 is a transmembrane protein expressed in multiple tissues and functions to mediate cell–cell adhesion. In cardiac muscle, Cadherin-2 is an integral component in adherens junctions residing at intercalated discs, which function to mechanically and electrically couple adjacent cardiomyocytes. Alterations in expression and integrity of Cadherin-2 has been observed in various forms of disease, including human dilated cardiomyopathy. Variants in CDH2 have also been identified to cause a syndromic neurodevelopmental disorder.
Cadherin-5, or VE-cadherin, also known as CD144, is a type of cadherin. It is encoded by the human gene CDH5.
Cadherin EGF LAG seven-pass G-type receptor 3 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the CELSR3 gene.
Cadherin-3, also known as P-Cadherin, is a protein that in humans is encoded by the CDH3 gene.
Regulator of G-protein signaling 19 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the RGS19 gene.
Cadherin-11 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the CDH11 gene.
Cadherin-4 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the CDH4 gene.
Cadherin-6 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the CDH6 gene.
Armadillo repeat protein deleted in velo-cardio-facial syndrome is a protein that in humans is encoded by the ARVCF gene.
Cadherin-16 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the CDH16 gene.
Cadherin-17 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the CDH17 gene.
Cadherin-12 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the CDH12 gene.
Cell adhesion molecule 3 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the CADM3 gene.
Cadherin-8 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the CDH8 gene.
αE-catenin, also known as Catenin alpha-1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the CTNNA1 gene. αE-catenin is highly expressed in cardiac muscle and localizes to adherens junctions at intercalated disc structures where it functions to mediate the anchorage of actin filaments to the sarcolemma. αE-catenin also plays a role in tumor metastasis and skin cell function.
Protocadherin beta-15 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the PCDHB15 gene.
Protocadherin beta-12 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the PCDHB12 gene.
Alkaline ceramidase 2 also known as ACER2 is a ceramidase enzyme which in humans is encoded by the ACER2 gene.
Cadherin 10 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the CDH10 gene.
Cadherin 9 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the CDH9 gene.
