Gene information for PCDH1 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID5097
Official gene symbolPCDH1
Full nameprotocadherin 1
Aliases,FLJ53887,MGC45991,PC42,PCDH42,
Gene summaryThis 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]
