Pcdh1 Gene Summary [Mouse]
Predicted to be involved in cell adhesion. Predicted to act upstream of or within calcium-dependent cell-cell adhesion via plasma membrane cell adhesion molecules and homophilic cell adhesion via plasma membrane adhesion molecules. Predicted to be located in cell junction; nucleolus; and nucleoplasm. Predicted to be active in plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; genitourinary system; gut; heart; and sensory organ. Orthologous to human PCDH1 (protocadherin 1).

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 Pcdh1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
