Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.1.0)
Predicted to enable beta-catenin binding activity and cadherin binding activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including heterophilic cell-cell adhesion via plasma membrane cell adhesion molecules; homophilic cell adhesion via plasma membrane adhesion molecules; and positive regulation of axon extension. Located in plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including brain; genitourinary system; gut; respiratory system; and sensory organ. Orthologous to human CDH4 (cadherin 4).
