Background: Cadherin-4/R-Cadherin

Cadherin-4 (also Retinal/R-Cadherin) is a 120 kDa (100 kDa predicted) member of the classical cadherin family of molecules. It is expressed on mammary epithelium, olfactory bulb neurons, cerebellar granule cells, vascular smooth muscle, astrocytes and pancreatic beta -cells. Cadherin-4 forms both homodimers and heterodimers with N-cadherin. These complexes will oligomerize, providing sources for adhesion and migration. Cadherin-4 also binds to KLRG1 expressed on NK, T and Treg lymphocytes. Mouse cadherin-4 proprecursor is 893 amino acids (aa) in length. It contains a 146 aa propeptide (aa 21-166) coupled to a 746 amino acid (aa) type I transmembrane mature protein (aa 167-913). The mature region possesses a 565 aa extracellular domain (aa 167-731) plus a 160 aa cytoplasmic region (aa 753-913). Consistent with classical cadherins, cadherin-4 contains five cadherin repeats in the extracellular domain (aa 167-721). There is one potential splice form that shows a 44 aa substitution for aa 291-913. Over aa 21-731, mouse cadherin-4 shares 98% and 93% aa identity with rat and human cadherin-4, respectively.
