PCDH8 - protocadherin 8 Gene

Also Known as PAPC; ARCADLIN

Species: Homo sapiens

Gene Type: protein coding

Gene ID: 5100

About PCDH8

Cytogenetic location: 13q14.3 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 13:52,842,889-52,848,640 (from NCBI)

This gene has 3 transcripts (splice variants), 280 orthologues and 61 paralogues. Biased expression in brain (RPKM 2.9), testis (RPKM 0.5) and 2 other tissues.

Summary

This gene belongs to the protocadherin gene family, a subfamily of the Cadherin superfamily. The gene encodes an integral membrane protein that is thought to function in cell adhesion in a CNS-specific manner. Unlike classical Cadherins, which are generally encoded by 15-17 exons, this gene includes only 3 exons. Notable is the large first exon encoding the extracellular region, including 6 Cadherin domains and a transmembrane region. Alternative splicing yields isoforms with unique cytoplasmic tails.
