Biochem/physiol Actions

The protein encoded by the gene CDH17 (Cadherin-17), also referred to as LI-cadherin, functions in cell adhesion without being dependent on cytoplasmic components, such as catenins or the actin cytoskeleton. Lower expression of this protein due to single nucleotide polymorphisms has been associated with tumor progression and lymph node metastasis of human colorectal carcinoma. It is found to regulate the signaling function of α2β1 integrin in cell adhesion and proliferation in liver metastatic cancer cells.

General description

This gene is a member of the cadherin superfamily, genes encoding calcium-dependent, membrane-associated glycoproteins. The encoded protein is cadherin-like, consisting of an extracellular region, containing 7 cadherin domains, and a transmembrane region but lacking the conserved cytoplasmic domain. The protein is a component of the gastrointestinal tract and pancreatic ducts, acting as an intestinal proton-dependent peptide transporter in the first step in oral absorption of many medically important peptide-based drugs. The protein may also play a role in the morphological organization of liver and intestine. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. (provided by RefSeq)
