Summary
This gene encodes a large protein that contains many cadherin domains and likely functions in cell adhesion. Genome-wide association studies suggest that this gene may be important in Alzheimer's disease, compressive strength index, and appendicular lean mass. [provided by RefSeq, May 2017]
Expression

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.
