PCDHB18P
Description
The PCDHB18P (protocadherin beta 18 pseudogene) is a pseudo gene located on chromosome 5.
PCDHB18P is a gene that provides instructions for making a protein that is part of a family of proteins called protocadherins. Protocadherins are cell adhesion molecules, meaning they help cells stick to each other. They are also involved in cell signaling, which is how cells communicate with each other. The PCDHB18P protein is thought to be involved in the development and function of the nervous system.
