Gene information for PCDH15 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID65217
Official gene symbolPCDH15
Full nameprotocadherin-related 15
Aliases,CDHR15,DFNB23,DKFZp667A1711,USH1F,
Gene summaryThis gene is a member of the cadherin superfamily. Family members encode integral membrane proteins that mediate calcium-dependent cell-cell adhesion. It plays an essential role in maintenance of normal retinal and cochlear function. Mutations in this gene result in hearing loss and Usher Syndrome Type IF (USH1F). Extensive alternative splicing resulting in multiple isoforms has been observed in the mouse ortholog. Similar alternatively spliced transcripts are inferred to occur in human, and additional variants are likely to occur. [provided by RefSeq]
