description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Acts upstream of or within homophilic cell adhesion via plasma membrane adhesion molecules. Is active in glutamatergic synapse and postsynaptic membrane. Is expressed in central nervous system; dorsal root ganglion; genitourinary system; jaw bone; and rib. Orthologous to human PCDH10 (protocadherin 10). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a reporter allele die within several weeks of birth and exhibit decreased body size and defective striatal axon growth and thalamocortical projections in the ventral telencephalon.
