Gene: PCDH20

Alternate names for this Gene: PCDH13

Gene Summary: This gene belongs to the protocadherin gene family, a subfamily of the cadherin superfamily. This gene encodes a protein which contains 6 extracellular cadherin domains, a transmembrane domain and a cytoplasmic tail differing from those of the classical cadherins. Although its specific function is undetermined, the cadherin-related neuronal receptor is thought to play a role in the establishment and function of specific cell-cell connections in the brain.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 13

Location in Chromosome : 13q21.2

Description of this Gene: protocadherin 20

Type of Gene: protein-coding
