About Pcdh17

Summary

This gene belongs to the protocadherin gene family, a subfamily of the Cadherin superfamily. The encoded protein contains six extracellular Cadherin domains, a transmembrane domain, and a cytoplasmic tail differing from those of the classical Cadherins. The encoded protein may play a role in the establishment and function of specific cell-cell connections in the brain. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2009]
