Background
Cadherin13 is a member of the cadherin family of transmembrane glycoproteins that mediate calcium-dependent intercellular adhesion. However, Cadherin13 is an atypical member, lacking transmembrane and cytosolic domains and containing a GPI moiety that anchors Cadherin13 to the plasma membrane . Human Cadherin13 is synthesized as a 713 amino acid precursor that contains a 22 aa signal sequence, a 116aa propeptide, a 555aa mature chain, and a second propeptide of 20aa that is removed in the mature form to reveal the GPI anchor. The mature form contains five cadherin domains and eight potential sites for N-linked glycosylation. The structural characteristics of Cadherin13 predict that it is unlikely to function as a true adhesion molecule in vivo . It is suggested that it may act rather as a signaling receptor participating in recognition of the environment and regulation of cell motility, proliferation, and phenotype .
