Description
Protocadherins are a large family of cadherin-like cell adhesion proteins that are involved in the establishment and maintenance of neuronal connections in the brain. There are three protocadherin gene clusters, designated alpha, beta and gamma, all of which contain multiple tandemly arranged genes. PCDH2 (protocadherin-2), also known as PCDHGC3 (protocadherin gamma subfamily C, 3) or PC43, is a 934 amino acid single-pass type I membrane protein that contains six cadherin domains and belongs to the protocadherin gamma family. Functioning as a calcium-dependent cell-adhesion protein, PCDH2 is thought to be involved in the establishment and maintenance of neuronal connections within the brain. Multiple isoforms of PCDH2 exist due to alternative splicing events
