Cadherin-8 Proteins and Enzymes

Cadherin-8 is a member of the type II, also called atypical, subfamily of classic cadherin cell adhesion molecules. Cadherins are transmembrane calcium-dependent cell adhesion proteins. Cadherin-8 is most highly expressed in neuronal tissues. It functions in the development of the hippocampal mossy fiber, connection of cold sensory neurons to the s...
