Cadherin-8 (P55286)

Uniprot ID P55286
Protein Name Cadherin-8
Gene Name CDH8
Species Homo sapiens (Human)
Signal peptide(a) Y Secretome P(b) 0.244
Function Cadherins are calcium-dependent cell adhesion proteins. They preferentially interact with themselves in a homophilic manner in connecting cells; cadherins may thus contribute to the sorting of heterogeneous cell types.

(a) The Signal peptide D-score cutoff for "YES"(having signal peptide) is 0.45.
(b) Non-classically secreted proteins should obtain an NN-score(Neural Networks score) exceeding the normal threshold of 0.5, but not at the same time be predicted to contain a signal peptide.
