Also Known as CDHJ; CDH27; CDHR7; PCDHJ; PCDH23

Species: Homo sapiens

Gene Type: protein coding
Gene ID: 54798

About DCHS2

Cytogenetic location: 4q31.3 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 4:154,231,742-154,491,799 (from NCBI)

This gene has 8 transcripts (splice variants), 1 gene allele, 70 orthologues and 33 paralogues. Broad expression in stomach (RPKM 1.1), testis (RPKM 0.9) and 16 other tissues.

Summary

This gene encodes a large protein that contains many Cadherin domains and likely functions in cell adhesion. Genome-wide association studies suggest that this gene may be important in Alzheimer's disease, compressive strength index, and appendicular lean mass. [provided by RefSeq, May 2017]
