CDH4

A gene on chromosome 20q13.3 that encodes a calcium-dependent cell–cell adhesion glycoprotein (cadherin), which is involved in regulating cell–cell adhesions, mobility and proliferation of epithelial cells. CDH4 is thought to play a key role in brain segmentation and neuronal outgrowth, as well as in kidney, muscle and retinal development .

While temporal and spatial expression studies have implicated R-cadherin as playing a role in developing zebrafish retinal ganglion cells (RGCs), to date there have been no functional analyses on the subject.
