Biological function summary
Cadherin 8 contributes to the formation and specification of synaptic connections in the developing brain. It participates in homophilic interactions meaning it adheres to other Cadherin 8 molecules on adjacent cells. Although Cadherin 8 does not engage in well-characterized complexes like other members of its family its function is essential for organizing tissue structure. It acts in coordination with other proteins contributing to the intricate design of cellular systems within the brain.
Pathways
The activity of Cadherin 8 integrates into neural development and synaptic organization pathways. It aligns with the Wnt signaling pathway which influences cell fate and synaptic plasticity. Here its interaction with beta-catenin links cadherin-based adhesion to intracellular signaling pathways. The effective coordination with other cadherins such as N-cadherin provides complementary roles in synaptic morphogenesis ensuring the proper connectivity in the developing nervous system.

General info
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.
