Gene data
PCDH7- Name
- protocadherin 7
- Type
- protein-coding
- Aliases
- BH-Pcdh, BHPCDH, PPP1R120
This gene belongs to the protocadherin gene family, a subfamily of the cadherin superfamily. The gene encodes a protein with an extracellular domain containing 7 cadherin repeats. The gene product is an integral membrane protein that is thought to function in cell-cell recognition and adhesion. Alternative splicing yields isoforms with unique cytoplasmic tails.
