Pcdhb16 Gene Summary [Mouse]
Predicted to be involved in cell adhesion. Located in photoreceptor connecting cilium; photoreceptor disc membrane; and postsynaptic membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system and retina. Orthologous to several human genes including PCDHB13 (protocadherin beta 13).

Protein Domains
A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in mouse Pcdhb16 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
- Cadherin-like
- Cadherin repeat-like domain
- Cadherin cytoplasmic C-terminal
