In addition, CDH6 was reported to interact with autophagy-related proteins GABA Type A Receptor-Associated Protein (GABARAP), BCL2 Interacting Protein 3 (BNIP3) and BNIP3L to restrict autophagy and to promote the reorganization of the mitochondrial network in thyroid cancer cells [102] (Figure 1). Here, CDH6 is linked to thyroid gland carcinoma.
