Summary: Enables cadherin binding activity and calcium ion binding activity. Involved in several processes, including establishment of planar polarity; imaginal disc development; and regulation of hippo signaling. Located in apicolateral plasma membrane. Is integral component of plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including embryonic/larval gut; epithelial furrow; imaginal disc; segment; and supraesophageal ganglion. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Van Maldergem syndrome 1 and mitral valve prolapse. Orthologous to several human genes including DCHS1 (dachsous cadherin-related 1).
