PCDH1

Also known as PC42, PCDH42, protocadherin 1

Protocadherin-1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the PCDH1 gene.

Gene data

PCDH1

Name: protocadherin 1
Type: protein-coding
Aliases: PC42, PCDH42

This gene belongs to the protocadherin subfamily within the cadherin superfamily. The encoded protein is a membrane protein found at cell-cell boundaries. It is involved in neural cell adhesion, suggesting a possible role in neuronal development. The protein includes an extracelllular region, containing 7 cadherin-like domains, a transmembrane region and a C-terminal cytoplasmic region. Cells expressing the protein showed cell aggregation activity. Alternative splicing occurs in this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008].
