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.
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.
Open Targets scores its association with cancer at 0.74 (direct and indirect evidence; datatypes literature 0.98, genetic association 0.52, somatic mutation 0.90). IntOGen calls it a driver in 7 cohorts (5 activating, 2 loss-of-function), covering Cholangiocarcinoma, Colon Adenocarcinoma, Oesophageal Adenocarcinoma, Hepatocellular Carcinoma, Lung Squamous Cell Carcinoma, Stomach Adenocarcinoma.
