Cadherin-6 (CDH6), also known as Kidney cadherin or KCAD, is a type II classical cadherin belonging to the cadherin superfamily. These calcium-dependent cell adhesion proteins preferentially interact in a homophilic manner, contributing to the sorting of heterogeneous cell types. This protein is expressed in the human HEK293 system and contains five cadherin domains covering residues Thr 19 to Ala 615. It is supplied as a lyophilized powder with a calculated molecular weight of 70.0 kDa.
