PCDHB19P


Description

The PCDHB19P (protocadherin beta 19 pseudogene) is a pseudo gene located on chromosome 5.

PCDHB19P is a pseudogene located on chromosome 5, belonging to the protocadherin beta gene cluster. This cluster contains genes that encode cell adhesion proteins crucial for neuronal development and connectivity. However, PCDHB19P is a non-functional copy of a real gene, meaning it doesn't produce a protein. Nonetheless, it might be involved in gene regulation.

PCDHB19P, a gene found on chromosome 5, is a member of the protocadherin beta gene cluster. This cluster encodes a group of cell adhesion proteins that play a role in establishing and maintaining neuronal connections in the brain. PCDHB19P, however, is a pseudogene, meaning it is a non-functional copy of a real gene. While it doesn't produce a working protein, it might still have regulatory roles by interacting with other genes or transcripts.

PCDHB19P is also known as PCDH-PSI5, PCDHB19.
