Facts about Cadherin-related family member 2.
Through its cytoplasmic domain, interacts with microvillus cytoplasmic proteins to form the intermicrovillar adhesion complex/IMAC. This complex plays a central role in microvilli and epithelial brush border differentiation (PubMed:24725409).

Highly expressed in liver, kidney and colon. Moderately expressed in small intestine. Down-regulated in a number of liver and colon cancers (PubMed:12117771, PubMed:15534908). Expressed in duodenum with higher expression in enterocytes along the villus axis and lower expression in crypts (at protein level) (PubMed:24725409).
