NCIt definition : Human CADM2 wild-type allele is located in the vicinity of 3p12.1 and is approximately
1115 kb in length. This allele, which encodes cell adhesion molecule 2 protein, plays
a role in the modulation of both cell adhesion and adherens junction formation.;
NCIt note : Rearrangements of the CADM2 gene, which inactivate the gene, were found in prostate
cancers. (Nature 2011: 470; 214-220.);
