cadherin 5

Gene Summary

Predicted to enable cadherin binding activity and calcium ion binding activity. Acts upstream of or within with a positive effect on cell-cell junction organization. Acts upstream of or within circulatory system development; negative regulation of angiogenesis; and unidimensional cell growth. Predicted to be located in plasma membrane. Predicted to be integral component of membrane. Predicted to be part of catenin complex. Predicted to be active in adherens junction and bicellular tight junction. Is expressed in several structures, including angioblastic mesenchymal cell; cardiovascular system; intermediate cell mass of mesoderm; mesoderm; and nervous system. Orthologous to human CDH5 (cadherin 5). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
