High impact information on Cad99C

  • Loss of Cad99C function results in shortened and disorganized microvilli, whereas overexpression of Cad99C leads to a dramatic increase of microvillus length [1].
  • Our data suggest an essential role for Cad99C in microvilli morphogenesis that is important for follicle cell function [2].
  • Cad99C encodes a transmembrane protein with a molecular weight of approximately 184 kDa that contains 11 cadherin repeats in its extracellular domain and a conserved type I PDZ-binding site at its C-terminus [3].
  • Here, we molecularly characterize the previously predicted gene cad99C and show that it is regulated by Hedgehog signaling [3].
 

Anatomical context of Cad99C

 

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of Cad99C

  • Finally, by analyzing mutant clones of cells, we show that Cad99C is not essential for cell segregation at the A/P boundary [3].
