PCDH7
Description
The PCDH7 (protocadherin 7) is a protein-coding gene located on chromosome 4.
Protocadherin-7 is a protein in humans encoded by the PCDH7 gene. It belongs to the protocadherin gene family, which is part of the cadherin superfamily. The gene encodes a protein with an extracellular domain containing seven cadherin repeats. This protein functions as an integral membrane protein, playing a role in cell-cell recognition and adhesion. Alternative splicing leads to variations in the protein's cytoplasmic tails.
Protocadherin-7 is involved in cell-cell recognition and adhesion. It is an integral membrane protein that interacts with other cells through its extracellular domain, which contains seven cadherin repeats. Different versions of the protein are produced through alternative splicing, resulting in variations in their cytoplasmic tails.
PCDH7 is also known as BH-Pcdh, BHPCDH, PPP1R120.
