PCDHB14
Description
The PCDHB14 (protocadherin beta 14) is a protein-coding gene located on chromosome 5.
PCDHB14 is a gene that encodes a protein called protocadherin beta-14. This gene is part of a group of genes called the protocadherin beta gene cluster, which is found on chromosome 5. This cluster contains 16 genes and 3 pseudogenes, each of which encodes a protein with six extracellular cadherin domains and a unique cytoplasmic tail. These domains interact with each other to create specific cell-to-cell connections. The PCDHB14 gene produces a protein that is embedded in the cell membrane and is involved in cell-to-cell communication. While the exact function of PCDHB14 is unknown, it is thought to be crucial for the formation and function of specific neural connections.
PCDHB14 is also known as PCDH-BETA14.
