该基因属于钙粘蛋白原基因家族，属于钙粘蛋白超家族的一个亚家族。该家族成员含有6个不同于经典钙粘蛋白的胞外钙粘蛋白结构域、跨膜结构域和胞质尾编码蛋白是一种钙黏蛋白相关的神经元受体，被认为在大脑中建立特定的细胞-细胞连接中起作用该基因在抑制癌细胞运动和细胞迁移中起作用。选择性剪接导致编码不同亚型的多个转录变体[由RefSeq提供，2015年1月]
This gene belongs to the protocadherin gene family, a subfamily of the cadherin superfamily. This family member contains 6 extracellular cadherin domains, a transmembrane domain and a cytoplasmic tail differing from those of the classical cadherins. The encoded protein is a cadherin-related neuronal receptor thought to function in the establishment of specific cell-cell connections in the brain. This gene plays a role in inhibiting cancer cell motility and cell migration. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2015]
