PCDHB6


Description

The PCDHB6 (protocadherin beta 6) is a protein-coding gene located on chromosome 5.

PCDHB6, also known as protocadherin beta-6, is a protein that plays a crucial role in cell-cell interactions. It acts as a calcium-dependent cell-adhesion molecule, facilitating recognition of self and non-self cells. This recognition process is essential for the establishment and maintenance of precise neuronal connections within the brain.

PCDHB6 is also known as PCDH-BETA6.
