Biochem/physiol Actions

CDH8 (Cadherin 8, type II), a classical cadherin, is a membrane protein that mediates calcium-dependent cell-cell adhesion. It is expressed predominantly in brain and modulates synaptic adhesion and axon growth. Microdeletions in CDH8 gene result in increased susceptibility to autism and learning disability.
