关于 CDH22

功能概要

该基因是钙粘蛋白超家族的成员。该基因产物由五个钙粘蛋白重复结构域和一个类似于经典钙粘蛋白高度保守的细胞质区域的细胞质尾部组成。这种推定的钙依赖性细胞粘附蛋白主要在大脑中表达，在大脑和神经内分泌器官的发育和维持过程中，可能在神经和非神经细胞的形态发生和组织形成中发挥重要作用。[RefSeq 提供，2008 年 7 月]

This gene is a member of the Cadherin superfamily. The gene product is composed of five Cadherin repeat domains and a cytoplasmic tail similar to the highly conserved cytoplasmic region of classical Cadherins. Expressed predominantly in the brain, this putative calcium-dependent cell adhesion protein may play an important role in morphogenesis and tissue formation in neural and non-neural cells during development and maintenance of the brain and neuroendocrine organs.
