Glossary CDH3 gene

provides instructions for making a protein involved in cell adhesion

The CDH3 gene provides instructions for making a protein called cadherin-3, which is involved in cell adhesion, helping cells stick together to form tissues. Mutations in this gene can lead to conditions like hypotrichosis with juvenile macular dystrophy, which affects hair growth and vision.
