Chromosome | 18 | NCBI Gene Number | 53601 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable calcium ion binding activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including calcium-dependent cell-cell adhesion via plasma membrane cell adhesion molecules; glycogen metabolic process; and homophilic cell adhesion via plasma membrane adhesion molecules. Located in cell-cell junction. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; extraembryonic component; heart; placenta; and retina. Orthologous to human PCDH12 (protocadherin 12). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a targeted mutation are viable, fertile and do not display any obvious histomorphological abnormalities.
