" /> Cadherin-13 - CISMeF





Preferred Label : Cadherin-13;

NCIt synonyms : T-Cad; Truncated-Cadherin; H-Cadherin; CDH13; T-Cadherin; P105; Heart Cadherin; Cadherin 13;

NCIt definition : Cadherin-13 (713 aa, 78 kDa) is encoded by the human CDH13 gene. This protein plays a role in cell-cell adhesion.;

NCIt note : Encoded by human CDH13 Gene (CDH Family), 713-amino acid 78 kD (precursor) putative tumor suppressor Cadherin 13 is a Ca(2 )-dependent cell-cell adhesion glycoprotein composed of five extracellular cadherin repeats. H-Cadherin lacks the conserved cytoplasmic region and is attached to the membrane by a GPI-anchor, unlike typical cadherins. Highest expression is observed in the heart. CNS expression is higher in adult than in fetus. A putative mediator of cell interactions, this cadherin may inhibit neural cell growth.;
