Comments
Comment typeDescription
DomainThree calcium ions are usually bound at the interface of each cadherin domain and rigidify the connections, imparting a strong curvature to the full-length ectodomain. {ECO:0000250}.
FunctionCadherins are calcium-dependent cell adhesion proteins. They preferentially interact with themselves in a homophilic manner in connecting cells; cadherins may thus contribute to the sorting of heterogeneous cell types.
SimilarityContains 5 cadherin domains. {ECO:0000255|PROSITE- ProRule:PRU00043}.
Subcellular LocationCell membrane {ECO:0000305}; Single-pass type I membrane protein {ECO:0000305}.
