Also known as CDHNCD325
Summary
CDH2 (cadherin 2, HGNC:1759) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 18q12.1, encoding Cadherin-2 (P19022). Calcium-dependent cell adhesion protein; preferentially mediates homotypic cell-cell adhesion by dimerization with a CDH2 chain from another cell.
This gene encodes a classical cadherin and member of the cadherin superfamily. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants, at least one of which encodes a preproprotein is proteolytically processed to generate a calcium-dependent cell adhesion molecule and glycoprotein. This protein plays a role in the establishment of left-right asymmetry, development of the nervous system and the formation of cartilage and bone.

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. Required for proper neurite branching. Required for pre- and postsynaptic organization. CDH2 may be involved in neuronal recognition mechanism. In hippocampal neurons, may regulate dendritic spine density. May promote axon outgrowth and motor fiber repair via DSP-mediated recruitment to outgrowth tips.
Subunit / interactions. Homodimer (via extracellular region). Can also form heterodimers with other cadherins (via extracellular region). Dimerization occurs in trans, i.e. with a cadherin chain from another cell. Identified in a complex containing at least DSP, JUP, VIM and CDH2; the complex is more abundant following crush injury in regenerating motor neurons and may promote axon outgrowth and motor fiber repair. Interacts with CDCP1. Interacts with PCDH8; this complex may also include TAOK2. The interaction with PCDH8 may lead to internalization through TAOK2/p38 MAPK pathway. Identified in a complex containing FGFR4, NCAM1, CDH2, PLCG1, FRS2, SRC, SHC1, GAP43 and CTTN. May interact with OBSCN (via protein kinase domain 2). Interacts with FBXO45.
Subcellular location. Cell membrane. Sarcolemma. Cell junction. Cell surface. Desmosome. Adherens junction. Cell projection. Axon.
Post-translational modifications. Cleaved by MMP24. Ectodomain cleavage leads to the generation of a soluble 90 kDa N-terminal soluble fragment and a 45 kDa membrane-bound C-terminal fragment 1 (CTF1), which is further cleaved by gamma-secretase into a 35 kDa. Cleavage in neural stem cells by MMP24 affects CDH2-mediated anchorage of neural stem cells to ependymocytes in the adult subependymal zone, leading to modulate neural stem cell quiescence. May be phosphorylated by OBSCN.
Disease relevance. Arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia, familial, 14 (ARVD14) [MIM:618920] A congenital heart disease characterized by infiltration of adipose and fibrous tissue into the right ventricle and loss of myocardial cells, resulting in ventricular and supraventricular arrhythmias. The disease may be caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry. Agenesis of corpus callosum, cardiac, ocular, and genital syndrome (ACOGS) [MIM:618929] An autosomal dominant, syndromic neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by global developmental delay and/or intellectual disability, corpus callosum agenesis or hypoplasia, mirror movements, dysmorphic features, and ocular, cardiac, and genital anomalies. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry. Attention deficit-hyperactivity disorder 8 (ADHD8) [MIM:619957] A form of attention deficit-hyperactivity disorder, a neurobehavioral developmental condition primarily characterized by the coexistence of attentional problems and hyperactivity, with each feature occurring infrequently alone. ADHD8 is an autosomal recessive form with onset in early childhood, usually by age 3 years. ADHD8 patients may manifest mild developmental delay with autism. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.
Domain organisation. Three calcium ions are usually bound at the interface of each cadherin domain and rigidify the connections, imparting a strong curvature to the full-length ectodomain. Calcium-binding sites are occupied sequentially in the order of site 3, then site 2 and site 1.
