Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.1.0)
Predicted to enable beta-catenin binding activity and cadherin binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including calcium-dependent cell-cell adhesion via plasma membrane cell adhesion molecules; cell-cell adhesion mediated by cadherin; and cell-cell junction organization. Predicted to act upstream of or within cell adhesion. Located in caveola and neuromuscular junction. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; embryo mesenchyme; limb; and musculature. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in autosomal dominant intellectual developmental disorder 3. Orthologous to human CDH15 (cadherin 15).
