PCDH12 - protocadherin 12 Gene
Also Known as DMJDS1; VECAD2; VE-cadherin-2
Species: Homo sapiens
About PCDH12
This gene has 3 transcripts (splice variants), 190 orthologues, 61 paralogues and is associated with 3 phenotypes. Broad expression in placenta (RPKM 15.3), lung (RPKM 10.9) and 20 other tissues.
Summary
This gene belongs to the protocadherin gene family, a subfamily of the Cadherin superfamily. The encoded protein consists of an extracellular domain containing 6 Cadherin repeats, a transmembrane domain and a cytoplasmic tail that differs from those of the classical Cadherins. The gene localizes to the region on chromosome 5 where the protocadherin gene clusters reside. The exon organization of this transcript is similar to that of the gene cluster transcripts, notably the first large exon, but no significant sequence homology exists. The function of this cellular adhesion protein is undetermined but mouse protocadherin 12 does not bind catenins and appears to have no affect on cell migration or growth.
