Function |
Cadherins 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.

Subcellular Location |
Cell membrane; Single-pass type I membrane protein.

Tissue Specificity |
Brain.
