Function | Calcium-dependent cell adhesion protein; preferentially mediates homotypic cell-cell adhesion by dimerization with a CDH2 chain from another cell. Cadherins may thus contribute to the sorting of heterogeneous cell types. Acts as a regulator of neural stem cells quiescence by mediating anchorage of neural stem cells to ependymocytes in the adult subependymal zone: upon cleavage by MMP24, CDH2-mediated anchorage is affected, leading to modulate neural stem cell quiescence. Plays a role in cell-to-cell junction formation between pancreatic beta cells and neural crest stem (NCS) cells, promoting the formation of processes by NCS cells (By similarity). Required for proper neurite branching. Required for pre- and postsynaptic organization (By similarity). CDH2 may be involved in neuronal recognition mechanism. In hippocampal neurons, may regulate dendritic spine density. |

Background
N-cadherin(NCAD) is a member of the cadherin cell-cell adhesion receptor family that includes P-, E-, and R-cadherin and liver cell adhesion molecule(L-CAM). N-Cadherin,, also known as Cadherin-2, encodes a 907-amino acid protein that includes a 159-amino acid signal sequence. Human and mouse nucleotide sequences are 96% identical. Mouse Ncad gene consists of 16 exons dispersed over more than 200 kb of genomic DNA. Human N-cadherin gene contains 16 exons and its sequence is highly similar to both the mouse NCAD gene(including the large first and second introns) and other cadherin genes. N-cadherin is mapped to 18q11.2. Cadherin regulates dendritic spine morphogenesis.
