This gene encodes a member of the cadherin family of calcium-dependent glycoproteins that mediate cell adhesion and regulate many morphogenetic events during development. The encoded preproprotein is further processed to generate a mature protein. This gene is expressed in the blood-brain barrier and retinal endothelia suggesting a role in the development and maintenance of brain barrier. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. Multiple distinct genes of the cadherin family, including this gene, are found on chromosome 15. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2015]
