Summary: Predicted to enable calcium ion binding activity. Involved in heterophilic cell-cell adhesion via plasma membrane cell adhesion molecules; hippo signaling; and nervous system development. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including cell surface receptor signaling pathway; condensed mesenchymal cell proliferation; and ossification involved in bone maturation. Located in apical part of cell. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; embryo mesenchyme; heart; hemolymphoid system gland; and metanephros. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Hennekam syndrome and Van Maldergem syndrome 2. Orthologous to human FAT4 (FAT atypical cadherin 4). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Nov 2024]

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
