Also known as: Rcad; R-CAD; R-Cadh
Summary: This gene encodes a member of the cadherin family of calcium-dependent glycoproteins that mediate cell adhesion and regulate many morphogenetic events during development. The encoded preproprotein is further processed to generate a mature protein. The encoded protein is involved in retinal angiogenesis during development where it plays a crucial role in the endothelial-astrocyte interactions. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2015]

cadherin 2 (CDH2) and CDH4 cooperate to regulate radial migration in mouse brain via the protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP1B) and alpha- and beta-catenins.
Title: Cadherin 2/4 signaling via PTP1B and catenins is crucial for nucleokinesis during radial neuronal migration in the neocortex.
suggest that R-cad is an adhesion molecule of the mammary epithelium, which acts as a critical regulator of the normal phenotype
Title: Loss of retinal cadherin facilitates mammary tumor progression and metastasis.
Pioneer axon outgrowth was rescued in vivo by selective replacement of R-cadherin by electroporation into cultured Pax6 mutant embryos
Title: R-cadherin is a Pax6-regulated, growth-promoting cue for pioneer axons.
analysis of subpopulations of HSCs for expression of cell surface adhesion molecules found that R-cadherin was preferentially expressed by HSCs functionally targeting neovascularization in the developing retina
Title: Adult bone marrow-derived stem cells use R-cadherin to target sites of neovascularization in the developing retina.
Killer cell lectin-like receptor G1 (KLRG1) ligation by R-cadherin may regulate the cytotoxicity of killer cells to prevent damage to tissues expressing cadherins.
Title: Killer cell lectin-like receptor G1 binds three members of the classical cadherin family to inhibit NK cell cytotoxicity.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
