背景信息：
Cadherin-17 is a single-pass type I membrane protein that belongs to the cadherin superfamily. Cadherin-17 consists of one extracellular region containing seven cadherin domains and one transmembrane region but it lacks the conserved cytoplasmic domain. Cadherin-17 is expressed in the gastrointestinal tract and pancreatic duct. Cadherins are calcium dependent cell adhesion proteins and preferentially interact with each other in a homophilic manner in connecting cells. Cadherin-17 may have a role in the morphological organization of liver and intestine and involved in intestinal peptide transport.
