Summary: Predicted to enable calcium ion binding activity. Predicted to be involved in cell-cell adhesion. Predicted to be located in membrane. Predicted to be active in cell-cell junction. Is expressed in several structures, including QL; nervous system; non-striated muscle; rectum; and reproductive system. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in spinocerebellar ataxia 45. Orthologous to several human genes including FAT1 (FAT atypical cadherin 1) and FAT3 (FAT atypical cadherin 3). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]

What's a GeneRIF?

loss of the cell adhesion molecule (CAM) CDH-4/Fat-like cadherin causes dendrites to be ordered randomly, despite remaining bundled. Loss of the CAMs PTP-3/LAR or SAX-7/L1CAM causes dendrites to adopt an altered order, which becomes increasingly random as animals grow.
