Cell localization:Membrane.This gene encodes a classical cadherin and member of the cadherin superfamily. Alternative splicing resµLts in mµLtiple transcript variants, at least one of which encodes a preproprotein is proteolytically processed to generate a calcium-dependent cell adhesion molecµLe 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],
