CDH17/LI-cadherin His Tag Prot

Cadherin-17 or LI-cadherin is a member of the cadherin superfamily,genes encoding calcium-dependent,membrane-associated glycoproteins.Cadherin-17/LI-cadherin is a cadherin-like protein consisting of an extracellular region,7 cadherin domains,and a transmembrane region but lacking the conserved cytoplasmic domain.Cadherins preferentially interact with themselves in a homophilic manner in connecting cells;cadherins may thus contribute to the sorting of heterogeneous cell types. LI-cadherin may have a role in the morphological organization of liver and intestine.It's also involved in intestinal peptide transport.
