This gene belongs to the protocadherin gene family, a subfamily of the cadherin superfamily. The encoded protein contains six extracellular cadherin domains, a transmembrane domain, and a cytoplasmic tail differing from those of the classical cadherins. The encoded protein may play a role in the establishment and function of specific cell-cell connections in the brain.,PCDH17,PCDH68,PCH68,Signal Transduction,Cell Biology & Developmental Biology,Cell Adhesion,Cadherins,Cytoskeleton,Neuroscience,PCDH17
