PCDH18 - protocadherin 18 Gene
Also Known as PCDH68L
Species: Homo sapiens
About PCDH18
This gene has 8 transcripts (splice variants), 274 orthologues and 61 paralogues. Broad expression in placenta (RPKM 18.1), endometrium (RPKM 17.7) and 21 other tissues.
Summary
This gene belongs to the protocadherin gene family, a subfamily of the Cadherin superfamily. This gene encodes a protein which contains 6 extracellular Cadherin domains, a transmembrane domain and a cytoplasmic tail differing from those of the classical Cadherins. Although its specific function is undetermined, the cadherin-related neuronal receptor is thought to play a role in the establishment and function of specific cell-cell connections in the brain.
