Protocadherin 9 Antibody / PCDH9

This gene belongs to the protocadherin gene family, a subfamily of the cadherin superfamily. The mRNA encodes a cadherin-related neuronal receptor that localizes to synaptic junctions and is putatively involved in specific neuronal connections and signal transduction. Sharing a characteristic with other protocadherin genes, this gene has a notably large exon that encodes six cadherin domains and a transmembrane region. Two alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been found for this gene.
