CDH9

CDH9 (Cadherin 9) is a Protein Coding gene. Diseases associated with CDH9 include Autism. Among its related pathways are ERK Signaling and S-1P Stimulated Signaling. Gene Ontology (GO) annotations related to this gene include calcium ion binding. An important paralog of this gene is CDH6.

Full Name

Cadherin 9

Function

Cadherins are calcium-dependent cell adhesion proteins. They preferentially interact with themselves in a homophilic manner in connecting cells; cadherins may thus contribute to the sorting of heterogeneous cell types.
