    basic FUNCTION
  • transmembrane glycoprotein component of adherens junction, invoved in cell-cell or cell-ECM interactions
  • playing a key role in the specific adhesion of fibroblast-like synoviocytes and in synovial tissue organization
  • potentially involved in the metastasis of prostate cancer cells to bone
  • important in embryogenesis and bone morphogenesis, invasion of cancer cells, lymphangiogenesis, homing of cancer cells to bone, and rheumatoid arthritis
  • involved in the controls of otolith assembly (
  • dispensable for postnatal skeletal growth, but it favors osteogenesis over adipogenesis
  • CDH2 and CDH11 are crucial regulators of postnatal skeletal growth and bone mass maintenance, serving overlapping, yet distinct, functions in the osteogenic lineage
  • modulates synovial fibroblasts to evoke inflammatory factors that may contribute to the inflammatory process in rheumatoid arthritis (RA)
  • directly modulates cytokine production by synovial fibroblasts, particularly IL6
  • is a functional tumor suppressor and an important antagonist of Wnt/CTNNB1 and AKT1/RHOA signaling, with frequent epigenetic inactivation in common carcinomas
  • CDH2 and CDH11 act as regulators of stem cell fate decisions

    INTERACTION
    DNA
    RNA
    small molecule
    protein
  • hemophilic, calcium dependent interactions
  • interacting by its C terminus with the cytoskeleton via beta-catenin
  • may be an important modulator of IL6 production by synovial fibroblasts
  • PRDM88 is an obligate partner of BHLHE22, forming a repressor complex that directs neural circuit assembly in part through the precise regulation of CDH11
    • cell & other
    REGULATION
    Other mRNA and protein levels are regulated by the activity of GSK3B and a significant degree of this regulation is exerted by the GSK3 target, beta-catenin, at the level of CDH11 3prime UTR
