Pcdh8 - protocadherin 8 Gene

Also Known as Arcadlin

Species: Rattus norvegicus

Gene Type: protein coding
Gene ID: 64865

Summary

Predicted to enable calcium ion binding activity. Involved in chemical synaptic transmission; modulation of chemical synaptic transmission; and regulation of synaptic membrane adhesion. Is active in Schaffer collateral - CA1 synapse and glutamatergic synapse. Is integral component of postsynaptic membrane. Orthologous to human PCDH8 (protocadherin 8).
