-   Family: CDH17 is a member of the cadherin superfamily, genes encoding calcium-dependent, membrane-associated glycoproteins [[https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/gene/1015](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/gene/1015)]. Cadherin-17 also belongs to a subclass of 7D-cadherin superfamily [PMID: 20580775].
-   Domains: Cadherin, Cadherin-like_dom, Cadherin-like_sf, Cadherin_CS
-   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. LI-cadherin may have a role in the morphological organization of liver and intestine. Involved in intestinal peptide transport [[https://www.genecards.org/cgi-bin/carddisp.pl?gene=CDH17&keywords=Cdh17#function](https://www.genecards.org/cgi-bin/carddisp.pl?gene=CDH17&keywords=Cdh17#function)].
