Cadherin-15 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the CDH15 gene. [5] [6]

Contents

Function

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]

Interactions

CDH15 has been shown to interact with ARVCF. [7]

T-cadherin, also known as cadherin 13, H-cadherin (heart), and CDH13, is a unique member of the cadherin superfamily of proteins because it lacks the transmembrane and cytoplasmic domains common to all other cadherins and is instead anchored to the cell's plasma membrane by the GPI anchor.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Cadherin-2</span>

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.
