About Pcdh9

Summary

This gene encodes a member of the protocadherin family, and Cadherin superfamily, of transmembrane proteins containing Cadherin domains. These proteins mediate cell adhesion in neural tissues in the presence of calcium. The encoded protein may be involved in signaling at neuronal synaptic junctions. Sharing a characteristic with Other protocadherin genes, this gene has a notably large exon that encodes multiple Cadherin domains and a transmembrane region. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding multiple isoforms have been observed for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Nov 2012]
