Gene information for PCDH18 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID54510
Official gene symbolPCDH18
Full nameprotocadherin 18
Aliases,DKFZp434B0923,KIAA1562,PCDH68L,
Gene summaryThis gene belongs to the protocadherin gene family, a subfamily of the cadherin superfamily. This gene encodes a protein which contains 6 extracellular cadherin domains, a transmembrane domain and a cytoplasmic tail differing from those of the classical cadherins. Although its specific function is undetermined, the cadherin-related neuronal receptor is thought to play a role in the establishment and function of specific cell-cell connections in the brain.
