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 .Segen's Medical Dictionary. © 2012 Farlex, Inc.
