CDH2(cadherin 2),癌症关联基因,基因ID:1000,这个基因编码一个典型的钙粘蛋白和钙粘蛋白超家族的成员。选择性剪接导致多个转录变体,其中至少一个编码前蛋白,经蛋白质水解处理后生成钙依赖性细胞粘附分子和糖蛋白。这种蛋白质在左右不对称的建立、神经系统的发育以及软骨和骨的形成中起作用。[由RefSeq提供,2015年11月]This gene encodes a classical cadherin and member of the cadherin superfamily. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants, at least one of which encodes a preproprotein is proteolytically processed to generate a calcium-dependent cell adhesion molecule and glycoprotein. This protein plays a role in the establishment of left-right asymmetry, development of the nervous system and the formation of cartilage and bone. [provided by RefSeq, Nov 2015]。
