CDH8

Protein·UNIPROT:P55286

Open in the graph

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.

Function from UniProtKB (P55286), read 2026-09-23. CC BY 4.0.
