Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Enables cadherin binding activity involved in cell-cell adhesion and identical protein binding activity. Involved in synapse assembly and synaptic membrane adhesion. Located in axon and dendrite. Is active in glutamatergic synapse; hippocampal mossy fiber to CA3 synapse; and synaptic membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including limb; nervous system; sensory organ; and testis. Orthologous to human CDH9 (cadherin 9).
