Gene information for PCDH19 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID57526
Official gene symbolPCDH19
Full nameprotocadherin 19
Aliases,DKFZp686P1843,EFMR,KIAA1313,
Gene summaryThe protein encoded by this gene is a member of the delta-2 protocadherin subclass of the cadherin superfamily. The encoded protein is thought to be a calcium-dependent cell-adhesion protein that is primarily expressed in the brain. Defects in this gene are a cause of epilepsy female-restricted with mental retardation (EFMR). Three transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.
