Gene information for PCDH11Y (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID83259
Official gene symbolPCDH11Y
Full nameprotocadherin 11 Y-linked
Aliases,PCDH-PC,PCDH22,PCDHY,
Gene summaryThis gene belongs to the protocadherin gene family, a subfamily of the cadherin superfamily. The encoded protein consists of an extracellular domain containing 7 cadherin repeats, a transmembrane domain and a cytoplasmic tail that differs from those of the classical cadherins. The gene is located in a major X/Y block of homology and its most closely related cadherin superfamily member is located in this homologous region on the X chromosome. The protein is thought to play a fundamental role in cell-cell recognition essential for the segmental development and function of the central nervous system. Transcripts arising from alternative splicing encode isoforms with N- and C-terminal variation. [provided by RefSeq]
