OnCo

CDH11 (Cadherin-11) is a gene that drives cell growth when it is altered. The public catalogues list it as an oncogene driver, a tumour suppressor and a fusion partner, and it is called a cancer driver by mutation analysis of patient cohorts. Tied to Oesophageal cancer, Gastric & gastro-oesophageal junction cancer, Colorectal cancer and 5 more. This dossier gathers the 0 products (0 approved), 0 trials, 0 pathways and 0 resistance routes in the corpus that involve it, with external identifiers so it can be joined to UniProt, ChEMBL, Open Targets and the rest of biology.

Biology

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. Required for proper focal adhesion assembly. Involved in the regulation of cell migration. Location: Cell membrane (UniProt). Locus 16q21 (HGNC).
