In a quest for novel cadherin gene family members in the human dbEST database, an interesting EST clone was identified and chosen for subsequent analysis. Using the technique of 5′ rapid amplification of cDNA ends, we isolated the complete coding sequence and a large part of the UTRs of a novel gene. The sequence appeared to correspond to the human cadherin‐10 gene, whose sequence was only partially known before. The expression pattern of this cadherin was found to be largely brain‐specific, with additional expression in both adult and fetal kidney, and with minor expression in prostate and fetal lung. By FISH analysis the genomic location was determined at human chromosome 5p13–14, which is nearby the reported positions of the human cadherin‐6, ‐12, and cadherin‐14 ( CDH18 ) genes. Cadherin‐10 shows high relationship to the human cadherin‐6 gene.
