PCDH20 - protocadherin 20 Gene
Also Known as PCDH13
Species: Homo sapiens
About PCDH20
This gene has 1 transcript (splice variant), 205 orthologues and 33 paralogues. Broad expression in brain (RPKM 4.5), lung (RPKM 1.5) and 14 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.
