Cdh2 cadherin 2 [Mus musculus (house mouse)] - Gene

Summary

Official Symbol: Cdh2provided by MGI
Official Full Name: cadherin 2provided by MGI
Primary source: MGI:MGI:88355

Gene type: protein coding
RefSeq status: REVIEWED
Organism: Mus musculus
Lineage: Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Glires; Rodentia; Myomorpha; Muroidea; Muridae; Murinae; Mus; Mus
Also known as: CDHN; Ncad; N-CAD
Summary: This gene encodes a member of the cadherin family of calcium-dependent glycoproteins that mediate cell adhesion. The encoded preproprotein undergoes proteolytic processing to generate a mature protein. Mice lacking the encoded protein exhibit severe developmental defects resulting in embryonic death.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
