Primary Identifier | MGI:107433 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 15 | NCBI Gene Number | 12565 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables cadherin binding activity involved in cell-cell adhesion and identical protein binding activity. Involved in synapse assembly and synaptic membrane adhesion. Located in axon and dendrite. Is active in glutamatergic synapse; hippocampal mossy fiber to CA3 synapse; and synaptic membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including limb; nervous system; sensory organ; and testis. Orthologous to human CDH9 (cadherin 9). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous knockout results in the formation of abnormal axonal arbors in some retinal type 5 bipolar cells. [provided by MGI curators] |
